COLUMBIA, Mo. — Suffice to say: Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz is not a fan of the college football coaching carousel or the rumor mill that makes it go 'round.
His name has come up and will continue to come up as a potential target for major programs looking for new head coaches.
What does Drinkwitz, in the middle of his sixth season leading the Tigers, make of it? He thinks his employer should take the links as a compliment.
"As far as my name associated with everything: That’s awesome for the University of Missouri," Drinkwitz said Tuesday.
