Hawkins/Drink both won at programs that won before them and won after them, that performance got them a job in a power conference, and they both struggled after that. They're both charismatic good recuiters.

Drink strikes me as a smarter version of Lane Kiffin... - zounami MU - 10/30 10:45:17

Bad hires and not maximizing talent = disaster at Mizzou. - Nats84 MU - 10/30 13:15:28

...and a younger version of Steve Spurrier (nm) - zounami MU - 10/30 11:12:04

I think taking a chance on a young guy was a smart move - Genco98 MU - 10/30 11:18:12

Zou talks like his agent - Gambler USA - 10/30 11:55:21

I'm just posting facts. (nm) - zounami MU - 10/30 12:01:40

He's able to win recruiting battles for SEC-caliber players. - zounami MU - 10/30 11:19:29

...even while the team sucks, he lands a 5-star blue chip (nm) - zounami MU - 10/30 11:25:02

Again let's see who actually ends up on campus - Genco98 MU - 10/30 11:32:32

The ability to win those recruiting battles cannot be denied - zounami MU - 10/30 11:33:44

I'd rather wait until I see some on-field progress - Genco98 MU - 10/30 11:40:55

We saw that last year when the roster wasn't as thin... - zounami MU - 10/30 11:45:08

Not really - Genco98 MU - 10/30 11:48:34

so your counterpoint is "last year didn't count"...? (nm) - zounami MU - 10/30 11:51:02

Are you counting this year? - Genco98 MU - 10/30 11:54:10

18 months?... I thought last year didn't count... - zounami MU - 10/30 11:59:02

You can't either - Genco98 MU - 10/30 12:06:46

I'm not. I'm saying both years count, but you're discounting - zounami MU - 10/30 12:07:59

Odom dealt with "Pinkel's recruiting failures" - Genco98 MU - 10/30 12:14:07

The bottom line is that to compete in the SEC, you need a - zounami MU - 10/30 12:18:43

You are arguing against yourself - Genco98 MU - 10/30 12:25:00

No, you're talking about outliers or "diamonds in the rough" - zounami MU - 10/30 12:28:18

Can you understand that coaching and player retention - Genco98 MU - 10/30 12:33:33

Yes, of course. But all we know at the moment is that - zounami MU - 10/30 12:44:50

Do we? - Genco98 MU - 10/30 12:47:26

Pinkel recruited better than Odom. Would love to have - zounami MU - 10/30 12:18:02

And the inability of high caliber recruits to live up to - Nohawks KC - 10/30 11:38:40

which ones? (nm) - zounami MU - 10/30 11:44:00

The Texas class as a whole and others - Nohawks KC - 10/30 11:50:08

ok, I'm talking about Mizzou... not Texas, Miami, etc (nm) - zounami MU - 10/30 11:51:34

Slow down sue. My point is and I know you know - Nohawks KC - 10/30 11:57:10

And it's a very stupid point. All we know, currently, is - zounami MU - 10/30 12:04:26

Lol. Why am I wrong (nm) - Nohawks KC - 10/30 12:11:17

it's not wrong, it's irrelevant... we have a skilled - zounami MU - 10/30 12:13:42

The caffeine is wearing off - Nohawks KC - 10/30 12:18:41

Another irrelevant point, this time about the BB coach. (nm) - zounami MU - 10/30 12:20:40

Yeah Odom himself had an number of his - Genco98 MU - 10/30 11:51:34

There's a strong correlation between recruit ratings and - zounami MU - 10/30 12:06:08

There ya go sue ! You said it - good for you - Nohawks KC - 10/30 12:12:43

Exactly good grief - Genco98 MU - 10/30 12:49:42

Does zounami need a refill on his meds? - Nohawks twin #1 MU - 10/30 13:01:35

"water is wet... the sky is blue..." –Gohawks - zounami MU - 10/30 12:14:36

More like a less-experienced Dan Hawkins (nm) - zoomer 99 - 10/30 11:17:27

ITS DIVISION ONE FOOTBALL. ITS THE BIG TWEELVE - motleyzou MU - 10/30 12:57:27

how so? (nm) - zounami MU - 10/30 11:20:01

Hawkins BSU -> Colorado is kind of similar - zoomer 99 - 10/30 11:25:53

Not at all. Drink has recruited better and won more against - zounami MU - 10/30 11:32:42

also, App State has definitely declined since Drink left... - zounami MU - 10/30 11:38:03

Missouri has declined since Drink arrived (nm) - zoomer 99 - 10/30 11:40:00

No. We went from losing to Vanderbilt, Kentucky, never... - zounami MU - 10/30 11:43:50

Ok, being sub-.500 is better than being .500 - zoomer 99 - 10/30 11:49:08

Odom couldn't even beat Vanderbilt by his final year... - zounami MU - 10/30 11:57:33

Ok, I guess you're in the denial phase (nm) - zoomer 99 - 10/30 11:34:12

no, I just explained why your comparison is absurd (nm) - zounami MU - 10/30 11:34:38

Ok you're right, Drink = young Steve Spurrier (nm) - zoomer 99 - 10/30 11:39:23

it's the closest comparison (nm) - zounami MU - 10/30 11:40:27
