Anybody looking for COU-TCL charter flights? In all seriousness, though, Drinkwitz's new deal is designed for this scenario. With Saban retired, Drinkwitz is now tied for fourth in the SEC in pay. Not like he's really going to go get more money elsewhere. And how many SEC programs finished the season ranked ahead of Mizzou? Two is the answer. Mizzou, right now, is one of the higher profile programs. (Though Blake Baker's departure might disagree.) That situation might detract from anything coaches say in public about believing in their program, loving where they're at, etc.
