He's the perfect guy for this NIL era?
The complaints against him are he hasn't gotten a QB, I get it.
But look at the talent he brought in last year via the transfer portal, look at the guys he's bringing in this year, look at how many starters are staying at Mizzou while other teams are having mass exoduses, look at the high school recruiting.
He's a .500 coach through 3 years, Rome wasn't built in a day.
If this roster is loaded with 4-5 star high school and transfer talent, it will translate into wins once the foundation is set.
"He can't develop QBs".
Cook looked much better as the season went on, is that not development?
"Baker gets all the credit for the defense".
So Drink doesn't recruit players on defense? He doesn't create the culture and foster the relationships that keep playmakers at Mizzou?
Drink appears to me to be a great CEO and recruiter, exactly what you want in this era of college football.
Does he still need to win 8 games next year? Absolutely, but this is a program trending up, regardless of what the record says.
