A lot of people against Drinkwitz are using this as some kind of reason that he's going to fail.
Here is a list of SEC coaches that had never "built a program" before their first P5 job:
Kirby - 0 years of HC experience
Pruitt- 0 years of HC experience
Mullen - 0 years of HC experience (Miss St)
Pittman - 0 years of HC experience
Stoops - 0 years of HC experience
Mason - 0 years of HC experience
Orgeron - 0 years of HC experience (Ole Miss)
Muschamp - 0 years of HC experience (Florida)
Every coaching hire is a risk but all of the guys listed above (except maybe Pittman) had tremendous upside, much like Drinkwitz.
Mizzou is a job where you aren't getting Harsin for less than 5 million or are pulling Norvell or Fickell.
Fans should be excited we got a hot name that has ANY head coaching experience.
Now let's see what the guy can do with SEC facilities and SEC talent.
