One has to be careful reading too much into a single statement, but the third sentence in Wingo's comments about why he left Mizzou speak volumes about how much the tables have turned in college football with regard to the players and coaches.

“I still have nothing bad to say about Coach Drink or his program. Coach Drink is a stand up man. He did everything I asked of him and I told him I appreciate that. He’s going to continue to do great things at Mizzou.”
