Will enjoy beating the Vols next year! MIZ!

Been a good week for Mizzou Athletics. New $250 million North Endzone Renovation announced (it looks awesome), now Gates is killing it on the recruiting trail! MIZ!

He’d look good sporting the Black & Gold!

Who would Kentucky get to replace Cal? Face it, Cal is your guy until he decides to leave.

Hey, Gates didn’t win a single conference game this year and most of us fans still believe in him and what he’s building. Hopefully we can get back to middle of the pack next year then contend in two- three years. We are young and it’s hard to win with young players. Gates has shown he can develop kids…we just have to stay the course.

Great job Drink & Co.! Excited to watch him play in a couple of years!

Musselman had a big case of little man syndrome. He seemed unstable at times; Arkansas won’t miss him. Musselman won’t do anything at USC. I wonder if Brazile will be looking to come back home to Mizzou (if we would take him back…I would like to give him another chance…he always looked better in Black and Gold than red anyway). I don’t know if bridges were burnt or not. Anyway that’s what I am interested in.

Well picking SEC teams to do well in the tournament hasn’t served my bracket well. Coach Cal just seems to put off a lot of nervous energy while he is roaming the sidelines; if the team feels that or not I don’t know. Reeves is a stud. Just didn’t seem like UK had that killer attitude and played a little passive. In the first half not near the shot attempts as Oakland. UK can’t get rid of Cal can they??? I don’t know the answer.

Since they are sticking with 8 conference games in 2025 I’m glad they decided on the home and home. 2026 need to go to 3-6-6 model. Here is my suggestion Alabama: Auburn, Tennessee, Ole Miss Auburn: Alabama, Georgia, Miss St. Arkansas: Texas, LSU, Mizzou Florida: Georgia, LSU, South Carolina Georgia: Florida, Auburn, South Carolina Kentucky: Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Miss St. LSU: Texas A&M, Florida, Arkansas Ole Miss: Miss. State, Alabama, Vanderbilt Miss St: Ole Miss, Kentucky, Auburn Mizzou: Oklahoma, Arkansas, South Carolina Oklahoma: Texas, Mizzou, Texas A&M South Carolina: Florida, Georgia, Mizzou Tennessee: Alabama, Kentucky, Vanderbilt Texas: Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Arkansas Texas A&M: Texas, LSU, Oklahoma Vanderbilt: Tennessee, Kentucky, Ole Miss

But in all honesty, with NIL and transfer portal I bet most schools will create a similar position at their schools.

Looking at his responsibilities, why doesn’t the AD name him head coach and make Deboer OC and press secretary?

Troll, DRF is not afraid of making decisions. From what I gather it’s the opposite, I don’t believe she appreciates the added oversight that the board of curators approved. Also, she is an Arizona alum and seems to like to take on challenges…Arizona has no shortage of those (athletic department hemorrhaging money). DRF did a great job here; we should all wish her the best of luck. Mizzou should be an attractive job with all we have going on. Interested to see who we get.

Thank you anonymous donor! That is very generous. MIZ!

Javon Foster should be a 1st rounder too!

Loser Troll; if you can’t find fun in como that says something about you lol!

Oats is a thug Coach running a thug program. Not a good look for Bama. They should fire his butt.

LSU’s heisman trophy winner beat Mizzou. Mizzou was better everywhere else. Including coaching which Brian Kelly obviously noticed too. Kelly trying to buy Mizzou’s culture but he will need to fire himself and hire Drink to get that fixed. Drink will reload his coaching staff & we be good. I just wish we played LSU next year.

My response was meant for your later post regarding Kiffin of course. You post a lot lol!

Good point. I think you’re right. If Kiffin was Alabama’s first call, probably he leaves. But being the 4-5 call…why leave a good situation in Ole Miss? Whoever gets the Alabama job will instantly be on the hot seat…Kiffin wants to be wanted, not the candidate that they had to settle for. If Ole Miss didn’t pony up in NIL, he’s gone, but Ole Miss fans have stepped up and no reason for him to leave now. One could argue Ole Miss now has a better shot at the College Football Playoff than a Sabanless Alabama.

If coaches keep turning them down, I could sell hiring Coach Prime. College Football is changing. Head coaches are less Xs & Os and more like CEOs and Brand Ambassadors. Hire good coordinators and have Prime do his thing. If Saban is still in the building he can be a mentor and help smooth the transition. Few coaches that Saban would do that for, I suspect he would help Prime out with their friendship that I’m sure they have built here recently doing commercials together and all. Seems natural to me. And would be fun to watch. Debour, Dabo, boring; Deion Exciting! If it doesn’t work, in three years hire Kiffin

I gained a lot of respect for Cadillac when he stayed on when they hired Freeze. IMO that helped stabilize the program during the coaching transition and probably helped retain players and recruits. He seemed to be a great program ambassador.

I wonder if the Alabama AD thought the first 3-4 candidates he targeted would have rejected him when he gave the 72 hour timeline (which was a mistake), the optics are now…the longer it takes to land someone, the more it seems that they had to settle for their 6th or 7th candidate.

Glad Bama fans don’t want Drink…Mizzou fans hope he retires a Tiger. I had pegged Bama at Bama as a probable loss next year. Once Alabama players portal out, transitioning to a new system offensive and defensive. Heck I think that game becomes getable! Mizzou to the playoff next year!

Okay then probably settle for Norvell or Dabo. Those two are looking to get out of their current situations.

Oh there are rules with NIL? Who knew lol! Mike Norvel is probably begging Bama to hire him lol!

Is this the same reporter claiming Lanning is in Tuscaloosa LOL! A broke clock is right twice a day, lol! First time I heard Drink’s name tied to the job. Throwing darts. The AD said search would be quick, indicating they know who the coach is already. This article is written like they still don’t have coach and still vetting candidates. The vetting was done months maybe even started years ago in preparation for this moment.

Hire Deon Sanders, may catch lightning in a bottle. If it doesn’t work out at least it will be fun watching and then you can hire the guy you wanted the whole time, Lane Kiffin, who will be ready to go to Alabama. And if Deion works, you are a genius.

It would be a mistake for Kiffin to take the job now. He’s got great momentum at Ole Miss. If he wants the Bama job, be the guy that replaces the guy that followed Saban. Just my 2 cents.

Last I checked Wilkes is doing just fine with the 49ers defense. Maybe under Wilkes we didn’t have the players that it took to be an elite defense? Maybe Wilkes’s style just didn’t translate to college. Maybe Baker was the beneficiary of having great players that allowed his blitzes to work by being able to single cover receivers downfield. Or maybe Baker is a once in a lifetime defensive genius? I just don’t know. One thing for sure, we will learn a lot next year. If Baker can turn around LSU’s defense he is worth every penny he just got paid as a direct cause and effect can be attributed. I predict Mizzou’s defense will be just as good next year with the recruits and transfers coming in. I predict an improvement in LSU’s defense but not a complete transformation/turnaround. Pumped for 2024. MIZ!

They did not play UGA
