I posted this in the basketball forum but I meant to post it here. I don't pay enough attention.

Florida just lost to Arizona in basketball and then someone just dropped this news on their 247 board:

“The two names that I'm hearing the most about over the last few days are Jeff Brohm and Eli Drinkwitz. Brohm is a name that the high school coaches around the state really like and they believe he's someone that would win at Florida.
Based off of some recent talks, I think it's fair to say that there's a good chance Kiffin stays at Ole Miss.“

This quote is from Andrew Spivey who covers Florida for Gator Country.

Hope it’s Drink

Auburn game is worth the watch if only for the comically terrible commentary.

I think one of them is actually trying on a new accent. Sounds like a Rick and Morty character.

If we're not getting "Steven F. Pearl wired up" then I'm not watching. He definitely seems like the type to wear a wire...

I always thought they would end up with Dorkowitz…but that is just a guess.

The first post under this in the thread was someone calling on fans to pull a "Schiano at UT" if it's Drink. It's hilarious. Drink is not leaving Mizzou for that dump.

But they won't! I tried to explain just how much support Drink is getting at Mizzou right now the other day, but folks don't want to hear that Mizzou is going to be competitive at this level for a long time. I tried to illustrate how much the Walton family is supporting that program and people don't believe me. That would be like a Mizzou fan saying that Jimmy Haslam doesn't support Spyre because the donations aren't public.

Mizzou can match whatever Florida throws at Drink and he's got more resources to compete there. Plus the expectations at MIzzou aren't higher than the ability of the program to meet them.

I like Brohm. Hope he stays at Louisville. His family is basically royalty in that city and for that school.

Kiffin would only leave Ole Miss for LSU and then their governor opened his mouth. Kiffin isn’t leaving OM.

"Yeah, like anyone is telling that fata** anything."

News I don't like is not true because the source is fat.

he will. He's an alum and he's getting everything he needs to win there. I think most fans fail to realize that, because the climate in college football is such that the teams who buy the best players have the most success, coaches having success are more reticent than every before to leave those programs. ESPECIALLY when there's usually some sort of enormous guaranteed buyout if they were to fail.

Do Louisiana politicians routinely get involved with university business or is this something LSU asked for?

I don't think that's the case, but it's obvious this team has some very young players and they are raw and inexperienced playing with each other.

Not yet seeing the classic relentlessness that is a signature of Barnes coached teams

I'm not convinced he would. I did hear that narrative thrown out there, but I think it was just to cover for the fact Kiffin never had any interest in that job.

This stuff with the governor controlling the board at LSU and thus hires at executive positions there is not new to this cycle. The last three governors have been intertwined in the politics at LSU and the last governor basically hired the AD the current governor just billed the school 6.5 million to fire, who is the one who gave Kelly that contract he ripped Jimmy Sexton over. I don't think it's really smart to publicly rip the guy who represents most of the candidates LSU will be looking at in their search regardless of if Kiffin ever had any interest.

It's funny that I just answered that above but I'll link a really informative article I read the other day about it while we're on the topic. As bad as the situation is with the UAA at Florida, this might be worse.

ESPN+ is different from SECN+

ESPN+ is extra you pay for but the game I believe is on SECN+ which is part of your tv subscriber package

Must have ESPN+ Unlimited package to get SECN+ games.

Arizona has a freshman who looked great, Koa Peat. He scored 30 tonight against the Gators.

That is wild, if I'm a coach I'm avoiding that toxicity until the flames die down. Regardless there's going to be resentment behind the scenes there for some time. Their sandbox got pissed in.

 

[RandomUTfan]

I don't know much but I know the next coach at Florida will again be coaching for the buyout check.

UF fan:
"Anyone but Kiffin is a disappointment but Brohm would be solid. Drink would legit cause a schiano revolt."

They won't even entertain the thought of getting down to Golesh and I'm not convinced he'd leave where he is for there either.

Very few people are reacting that way, but they’re getting the engagement they want. Same regarding CJH being fired.

 

[Butch Jones]

The fire Heupel chatter will probably cease pretty quickly when they see who UF and LSU hire. Then again, it’s not rational to begin with.

They call them the lunatic fringe. I don't even know why this gets publicity.

He shouldn’t have taken it to the media and is a little weird. Although he is right. If a booster doesn’t pay the buyout it can fall on taxpayers. I know it’s not likely but technically it could happen.

 

[SoilVol]

Drinkowitz is an absolute douche and dork, but he's put together some pretty dang solid teams at Mizzou and recruited pretty well. I've been reluctantly impressed.

I think he's at the perfect spot for him. He's made for a school like Mizzou.

 

[MrVolton]

Does anyone else wonder why in the last minutes of a tight bball game when the losing team is fouling (intentionally) to make the other team shoot FTs… why that is not called an intentional foul when that is clearly what they are doing?

And why is a QB spiking the ball not intentional grounding?
