Eli Drinkwitz has always chosen swagger over stoicism, especially at SEC Media Days. It’s safe to say his teams’ play on the field hasn’t always lent that swagger with a lot of credibility. So for his third official visit to the SECMD, Drinkwitz is taking a different tact.
As Dave Matter writes in the Post Dispatch, a more “subdued, dialed-down” version of Mizzou’s head coach was on display.
He told me that he’s backing off this year,” senior safety Martez Manuel said. “He’s just gonna let our play do the talking for him.”
It’s probably a smart play for Drinkwitz.
