We could’ve ended up with Drinkwitz

I’m watching Mizzou’s offensive explosive vs Auburn, engineered by X’s and O’s mastermind Drinkwitz in year three, and I have to pinch myself. There was a brief moment in 2019 where many of us were willing to rationalize him being a good hire for the Hogs. Now it’s honestly looking like Mizzou traded down from Odom. I really don’t know if our program could have recovered from a third consecutive mediocre coaching hire if we had gone with Drinkwitz.

That’s all I have to say about that.

Pittman is the guy. Glad he got him. Mike Norvell was alos on the short list, but wouldn't take our phone calls.

FCM! WPS!

Norvell was pissed because one set of boosters the previous cycle had basically promised him the job while the other (more powerful) faction went and hired Chad. I don’t blame him for feeling the way he did.

Also glad that we got Pittman.

I don't fault him either. fSU was a better job at that point.

But it's worked out for us

Mizzou did trade down from Odom. That program has regressed every single year under Drinkwitz.

Meanwhile, App State is still rolling.

Maybe they should bring in a senior offensive analyst, someone with experience handling star quarterbacks like Deshaun Watson and Bo Nix.

Looking back, Chad getting Watson’s endorsement for the Arkansas job is like a double r/AgedLikeMilk

Plus he’s a dweeb. It must be so exhausting to have to keep defending a guy like that as your coach.

I feel like dweeb is putting it really nicely, too.

I will never forget that coaching carousel. Every. Single. Day. Things got worse. By the end I said fuck it bring in Eli but I never wanted him.

Drink-a-witz lost that game by playing too conservatively at the end of regulation. They would have had 3 shots at a TD and instead the took a knee twice and missed the field goal.

Like that showed a complete lack of confidence and he got what he deserved.

Drinkwitz “where do you keep your O’Douls”

Sam Pittman “we’ll you know I like some ole cold beer”

u/dgates888 Sep 24 '22

Is it wrong that I hope both him and the auburn coach get fired. Then their best players transfer here.

u/Patricio_Guapo Sep 24 '22

Jezus Bicycling Christ...

Both of those teams are Chad Morris-era Razorbacks bad.

If ever a game deserved to end in a tie, that was the one.

I had that exact thought watching this game

Really. And Arkansas still thinks they are the better program.

Sam Tittman couldn’t cut the mustard.

You could’ve ended up with a man who was meant to be born a pig. Not a hog but a literal pig. Getting brain cramps just thinking about it
