The Auburn Tigers' worst-case scenario College Football coaching carousel outcome is officially off the table.
On Thanksgiving Day, the Missouri Tigers extended the contract of head coach Eli Drinkwitz, who took over the team in December 2019. Per ESPN's Pete Thamel's sources, "there’s an increase in salary for Drinkwitz to an average of more than $10.7 million over the deal and an increased commitment to staff and salary pool." Drinkwitz is 45-28 in his six seasons in CoMo.
Good for Mizzou. They weren't going to replace him with anyone better. Missouri needed to give him this extension, even it may come off as aggressive.
