I don't know. He has 1 year as a head coach in a terrible conference. Took an 11-2 team to 12-1. Coached for some decent, but nothing spectacular, NC State teams for 3 years before that. May be a good hire, but it's a big risk.
He had a great year, but his resume is awfully light. Mizzou made a huge gamble with him. I would’ve been pissed if this is who we ended up with.
I’m always wary of hiring guys with such a small sample size. Same reason I was never on the Napier train. Drinkwitz inherited a team that was already loaded and just didn’t screw it up. He’s never had to build a program up. Risky hire in my opinion.
Honestly, looking at who got hired into the SEC this year, I'm a little less pissed off that we kept Moorhead.You are right, but their options were always going to be a huge gamble, a retread or a loser. Look around at who's getting hired.
You are right, but their options were always going to be a huge gamble, a retread or a loser. Look around at who's getting hired. We'll be the in the same boat when we move on from Joe. We'll have to gamble on a green G5 head coach or a P5 Coordinator that has never been a head coach at this level before. Tough job for these ADs making hires.
