I don’t think any fan could be happy with the way this season went and particularly last night’s game. But I ask a serious question to those who are posting all the negativity last night and today. Do we really want to start over again as a program with a new coach right now? If we do aren’t we starting to look a lot like our program from the 80’s well into the Pinkel years? Those were some really ugly years that I personally don’t ever want to re-visit. And in this social media driven world, does it really serve any rational purpose to publicly bash our coach, our players, or their parents? Don’t even the biggest naysayers, when they turn off the emotion, have to acknowledge Drink’s recruiting prowess compared to really any of his predecessors, while at the same time acknowledging he’s a young head coach who’s learning as he goes? I know the extension was not popular here among those who routinely post, and we can certainly debate its merit, but Drink’s not going anywhere soon so wouldn’t it make more sense to support the program rather than bash it? I get it that we all pay our $9.99 a month to subscribe and that this is a “private” message board, and that it reads very similarly to any other board you look at after a loss (did anyone else look at the Illinois board this week?), and perhaps it serves as a great place to vent, but I would sure like to think that once the emotion of last night’s game subsides, what we see here posted doesn’t represent the mainstream thinking of our fan base. I’m sure I’ll be attacked for posting this, but I sure hope not as I’m just another frustrated Mizzou fan wanting what is best for our University. And I ask the question in all seriousness. Do people really think that changing coaches is the solution? I get it if we’re still having this conversation next year at this time, but isn’t a little more grace warranted now?
What do the naysayers want?
