anything publicly traded isn’t going to dump tons of money into a college football team as a general rule


I understand that, it was just examples i was using. Im speaking in generalizations, not saying those specifically need to be the ones donating.

I assume this narrative comes from Drinkwitz’s statement. From what I’ve observed, donations to universities’ athletic departments don’t come from Fortune 500 companies. They come from privately held businesses doing $5M to $250M.


Yes and no, i used it as a more generalized statement, i also was talking about all the medium to large privately owned companies as well. Examples would be like Purina, Fitz's, Energizer, Famous Footwear, American Outdoor Brands, Lions Choice, and a pretty large list of construction/engineering companies.

Could even reach out to alum who founded companies elsewhere ie Panda Express.
Correct, so once again, it will ultimately boil down to money. Fire our existing coach, hire a new one, it doesnt work out, spend a bunch of $$$ to go through the cycle again.

It isn't all about $$$.*

Fixed your statement and yes, id agree with that, but it does take good investment in both coaches, and players. If we want a proven coach that is good, that cost $$$. Yes we can always look at the coaches who came from mid majors and succeeded this year but Gates came from a mid major as well. Its rolling the dice on hiring an up and coming mid major coach every time at the P4 level.
unfortunately regarding basketball, I don't believe ever. With our ability to not get big corporate buy in from the major companies in STL and KC. We have to pick one sport and funnel most of the money that way and it seems our current administration has picked football. We are all in on that program so that is our only shot at a NC. IMO, we should of picked basketball but I understand why we picked football; more revenue opportunities, more eyes on the TV, etc.
Ok thats what i figured but havnt been following it too closely to see how we were projecting him. So we need a big time SG, PF and C in the transfer portal.
Yea, crazy our mod locked and deleted the baseball thread. Didnt like our complaining and ideas on how to fix our terrible program.

Id hope we would commit early to him as our QB1 considering what we paid for him lol.

Do we have any update/info on Sprague? Have not heard anything regarding him which is a surprise.

Air Noland QB S.Carolina RS Soph. Good QB for Zollers to compete with. We win no matter who starts.

Im good with everything on the list except this. Have some good connections with the SC FB program, and this guy is a problem. Lazy, doesnt show up to film/practice, doesnt care at all about football.

Also, id add exploring Sprague or Babalola from Michigan. (just noticed Jake Garcia is still in college while looking up how to spell Babalola. Garcia is on the Michigan roster lol)

re: 2026 Football coaching staff.

I know this one is probably a long shot but another name id like to throw out there is Kendal Briles but with him being the Associate HC as well as the OC at TCU i don't think he would want to just be an OC now. His past offenses have shown the ability to dominate in the run game or passing game depending on his roster makeup.

while doing this research i stumbled across a name some of yall will remember. AJ Ricker! He is the co-OC and oline coach down at TCU. He would be a name to keep an eye on. I also only think we make that move if Brandon Jones were to also leave. Ive seen Jones mentioned with the OK State OC job due to his connections with Eric Morris.
quote:

So how about Jerry Neuheisel as OC?


That would be awesome but i don't see Jerry leaving UCLA and if he does he probably stays on the west coast. I could be wrong though. He was born there, played there and his dad also coached there. Its his dream job just to be on staff at UCLA.

Wish list would be Garrett Riley from Clemson. Only making 1.75 mil there and i doubt he is happy there. His offense at Clemson is bad but i think that has more to do with Dabo and "The Clemson Way" vs Riley's abilities. Riley's offense everywhere else has been high powered.

James Madison in the transfer portal

Posted by MizzouFan13 on 12/2/25 at 8:03 am
Seeing him in the portal hurts. I had big hopes for him when we landed his commitment. I know the WR room is loaded but thought he would find some space next year on the field.

re: Burden in the 2nd round???

Posted by MizzouFan13 on 4/1/25 at 8:34 am to
I think Burden's success will be determined on what team he goes too and how they utilize him. He will be a deebo/ayuik type player. Need to get him the ball in space through "gadget" type plays.

I like Roberts but he isn't as effective in the outside/stretch zone. You need a speed back to run that.

re: Transfer Portal Discussion

Posted by MizzouFan13 on 12/16/24 at 9:54 am to
Honestly, he will probably end up at A&M or Houston the way they are throwing money around in the portal. He is from Texas.
damn, that one hurts. He looked like our top RB the next 2 years.

frick a bridge QB, go get best available. If its a potential 2-3 year starter, so be it. Worst case if you go get Walker and he isnt the guy, you at least proved you tried make the best team available and then you can ride with Zollers.

Lets go get Walker White from auburn. They just brought in Arnold so Walker will enter the portal.

starting NIL payments to the player when they commit.


We cant do that. We can only start payments once they sign there NLI. Which earliest I believe is sometime in November when its early signing day.
