A high school in New Hampshire still has an opening. Eli's the #1 candidate so he needs another mil from Mizzou.

They were served a ranked 10 win ACC team on a platter in the bowl game.

Mizzou scored 7 points.

LE liked defending this guy. I don't get it. At some point you gotta overcome that crap and he doesn't.

So glad LSU didn't get Drink.

Would have been a ridiculously underwhelming hire. LSU BOS guy Scott Ballard was a apparently a big fan of Drink. Wasn't Matt Mascona pimping this guy also? I don't listen to him but some stated that.

You're right. Forgot about Hester. One of his less lucid moments.

He essentially priced himself out of any job besides Missouri. The good part is Missouri is paying him like a top 5 coach when no other program is willing to do that. So he is valued by his current school and really has no choice but to stay there unless he takes a pay cut.

And 8-4 every year will be jist fine at Mizzou. It's a perfect pairing.every once in awhile he'll end up with some really really good players and maybe end up 9-3 or 10-2 and make the playoffs and get quickly bounced and that will ve perfect to have a 20 year career in CoMo.

Injuries to the starting QB is the problem with the offense. Zoller was a true freshman backup. Obviously not enough depth.

Absolutely spot on. Missouri values him. He should stay there and make it a career.

Didn’t help himself by playing his top 2 QBs in the first game since he couldn’t decide on a starter & lost 1 of them to injury for the season.

Zollers looks awful. I know he was a big-time prospect and is only a true freshman, but he appears like one of those guys who doesn't have “it”.

He's done a fine job.

It's Missouri.

Yep. He gets those St Louis kids to go to Mizzou which pretty much didn’t happen before.

But that doesn’t translate to other schools openings because it’s not like he would have been recruiting those St Louis kids at a place like LSU or Florida.
