I sincerely hope LSU brass is aware of public perception if Drinkwitz is hired, and what would result in a massive backlash with opposing outcry from a large portion of the LSU fan base.

A&M fans fought against the potential hiring of Stoops- and boosters vetoed the hire. Tennessee fans fought against the potential hiring of Schiano- and school admin rescinded the job offer. LSU fans that reject Drink will fight the same battle if necessary.

There’s just no way you pull the trigger on Kelly when you did to hire Drinkwitz. Just no fricking way.

It’s not my choice for HC & I don’t see it being him, but there are far worse names thrown out there.

What he’s done @ MIZZOU is impressive & it’s obvious he hires great coaches. If you can’t understand the ceiling @ MIZZOU compared to every other school not named KY, VANDY, & STATE, I’m not sure what to tell you.

He’s 0-15 since 2020 against SEC teams that finish with a winning record and 5-17 against ranked opponents. How is that an upgrade from Kelly?

Except the idiots running LSU will go through with the Drink hire.

People said the same thing about hiring Orgeron when Miles was fired

This is stupid.

If Drink is the next coach, he’ll be more successful here than Kelly was. He’s capped out Mizzou’s program.

Mizzou has a much higher ceiling than Kentucky, vandy and state.
