Eli Drinkwitz has won quite a bit of good favor since taking over as the football coach in December. Granted, that’s not exactly hard to do — any new coach who is unable to inspire excitement in the fan base is cutting his legs out from under him right away.
But Drinkwitz hasn’t failed to generate buzz around Missouri. He’s said all the right things, kissed all the right babies (before social distancing, of course) and generally stamped Missouri football with his brand right away. He’s young, he’s energetic and he’s got fans feeling the same.
One of the things he said early on was his desire to add, “touchdown makers,” to the Missouri roster.
