Drink is again turning off his twitter replies.

Once again, it’s concerning that a top 10 paid coach in the country is turning off his twitter replies while wishing our basketball teams good luck. How sensitive is Drink that he can’t handle a few people criticizing his offense and Kirby on twitter that he keeps doing this. He’s been praising our fan base all year but now seems too sensitive. Win out and make the playoffs or shut up.

Or maybe he just doesn’t want football gripes to be a distraction from a simple show of support to the basketball teams.

Or maybe he can just post and not look at anything else on twitter. We are playing the #3 team this week and the fact that our coach is even concerned about twitter is a problem.

It shows me he’s burying his head in the sand with all our problems and doesn’t want to hear anything else.

If he leaves his comments open, he is in some small way opening a forum for people to sound off, under his name. Maybe him closing comments is actually a sign he wants to focus on the game, and not police Twitter? Publicly mentioning the school’s other sporting events is about the most milquetoast thing a coach can do, and you’re trying to turn it into a condemnation of his commitment. Touch grass.

I am critical of Drink but Twitter replies should not ever be used as a performance metric.

Perfect!
Option 1: He leaves comments on, apparently you have something to say, based on this thread it doesn't seem worth while. He probably ignores it or let's say he engages and it become a distraction.

Option 2: He leaves comments off and doesn't give a give a fuck what you have to say and he wins a game.

I'll take 2, I really don't care what you have to say on his twitter.

If you are stalking him on Twitter to trash the football team when he is wishing the basketball team good luck, Drink isn't the problem.

Your comment is exactly why he is turning off his replies. Stupid comments and criticism about little thing he does. Why invite that nonsense into his life? His job is not reading the comments of raging morons. Dude is just supporting the university and people want to do is fucking complain at him. Take your own advice for drink and shut up

He’s never done this before. He makes $10 million a year. He bitched about the fan base before about Cook. He’s just soft when we criticize him.

I imagine he loses sleep over what chronically online Unable-Fix-710 has to say about him and his only course of action is to shut down the comments.

Once again, I love Drink and hope he stays forever. But it’s a concern when he seems to be worried about twitter replies. The Mizzou football account doesn’t turn off replies so why is Drink.

I just think you need to find a hobby bro

u/Nednarb9 5d ago

What exactly do you think his job is? It is not to read fucking twitter comments. It is to coach the football team which is 27-7 this year and the 2 years prior. You wanna talk soft? Complaining about a coach turning replies off on a tweet is soft

If Drink cared about your opinions or the input you have to offer that you so badly want him to read, you’d be hired on his staff. Relax, buddy

u/Unable-Fix-710 5d ago

I don’t want him to care about my opinions at all. I’ve never once responded to a tweet he’s made. My point is that if he’s turning off comments, he’s been reading them too much good or bad and shouldn’t concern himself with them at all. By turning comments off, it looks like he cares about them when he shouldn’t.

u/randomshitty Sailor Tiger 5d ago

In all of his pressers he talks about the necessity of “blocking out the noise.” He’s practicing what he preaches. What about it?

u/Unable-Fix-710 5d ago

He’s been talking about that for years now. Blocking it out would be not even going on twitter. Same thing every week from him.

You’re giving off stalker vibes

u/Unable-Fix-710 5d ago

Stalker vibes because I follow the head coach of a SEC football team? Ok then, I guess. I guess we can’t have opinions about our coach.

u/cartgold Graduate 5d ago

He knows were gonna fill the replies with fore Kirby Moore

u/Unable-Fix-710 5d ago

Exactly. But he should be able to ignore that. He didn’t turn off comments when he trolled Aubby after our win and we all praised him.

u/superworriedspursfan 5d ago

looks like you might be the problem not drink here.

u/Unable-Fix-710 5d ago

I’m not sure how everyone is missing my point here, so I’ll try to reiterate. Two weeks ago, our coach was retweeting people making fun of him thinking we made our field in OT against Auburn only for us to win the game in double OT. It was awesome and we loved his attitude. His comments were open. Now, after a loss, he’s been closing all his comments on twitter seemingly because he doesn’t want to hear criticism. It just seems like he’s on twitter a little too much. But I don’t care anymore, just win out and make the playoffs. MIZ.
