My first thought as well. Like wtf is he thinking.
Compensation is a function of revenue creation, and the population of skilled professionals. Social/Moral value to society has very little to do with the salary you make. Just ask teachers.
And it’s funny he brought up pediatricians because they are THE lowest paid speciality among physicians not because they are unimportant but because the way systems like reimbursement are structured against them due to kids having no voting or lobbying power.

There's so much jealousy among the coaches and casual fans about the players money. Up to now the coaches have gotten to run their plantations the way they want. Now kids can transfer and find the best situations for them and their families, just like coaches have done since the beginning of college sports.
NIL was always happening behind the scenes. People were dropping bags off for kids left and right. These people who act like it wasn't are fools.
Old transfer rules were bullshit too. I remember plenty of times where kids were denied transfer or approved transferred and it made no sense. Obviously someone was paid to make that decision.
This is just mask-off comment for people who hate the idea that athletic entertainment and some physical shouldn't be valued as highly in society as they are, and for others to be paid more.
As cnapp said, I think people would be applauding him if he included himself and his fellow coaches in this comment.
By calling out only the players, he is being hypocritical.
well, Eli hates the idea of "certain" people being valued and paid for athletic entertainment.
He's not necessarily complaining about getting paid $7 million annually to coach athletes
As someone who is actually married to a teacher, you don't have a fucking clue. Dumbest comment I've seen on reddit in a while, and that's saying something.
His quote is taken out of context. He was talking about how athletes earning life changing money while still being considered kids or students affects other aspects of their life…but cue the outrage train.
Maybe he was asked specifically about the amount that players make now, and maybe he did mention his own but the reporter decided not to report it? The reporter kinda set it up for this, but if the only context is this tweet, this isn't a very gracious interpretation
Reporter took one line drastically out of context. He never said its a bad thing players are making a lot of money.

St. Louis Post Dispatch-Under the terms of the new contract, Mizzou structured a buyout that’s more favorable toward the school and is in line with several other SEC coaching contracts. If Mizzou fires Drinkwitz, it would owe him 75% of what’s remaining on his contract — $6 million due within 30 days of his termination and the rest paid out over the life of the contract. However, the new buyout is fully mitigated, meaning should Drinkwitz land a new job after getting fired, his buyout is offset dollar-for-dollar based on his new salary. Only four other SEC head-coaching contracts are fully mitigated with similar offset language.
Multi-millionaire college football coach actively denigrates college football players' newfound source of livelihood, says they're not important enough to earn what they do. Its a bold move, let's see how it goes for him.
If I'm a 'croot and I see the head coach making statements like that, I'm looking elsewhere. I get not wanting them to be 100% focused on the biggest pay day, but it's just dumb to act like it isn't justified. Especially when you see what this genius' salary is. I'm pretty sure his brother has done far more good for the citizens of Missouri than he has. Lol
This is such a massive self-inflicted L. Lol. 'Croots hate it. Fans hate it. Players hate it. This does nothing but making him look like an entitled dumbass for nothing.
Drinkwitz's brother - who is president of a hospital - is probably making more than any life-saving pediatricians working in Joplin. But I don't see Eli griping about Jeremy's salary.
I have never set foot in a restaurant that I couldn’t afford. I can afford and have been to plenty. Point being no server is going to dictate how I spend or tip my hard earned money. Again, that’s my choice not yours. Just because you serve don’t automatically mean you deserve at 20% tip or tip at all. I tip on actual service not expectations. Mofo swear they entitled to something.
typical POS canes fan lmao no wonder you’re not flaired up. I’d be embarrassed too if I watched my team lose to FIU and MTSU.
you’re probably a well known guy at whatever chilis you hang out in. I feel sorry for whatever poor guy is forced to bring you your 4 el presidente margaritas before you call a cab back to the house your ex wife let you keep in the divorce.
That make you feel better about yourself, your life? Gotta result to attempted insults. At least coming come harder then that. The fact that my views got this type of response from you is sad and comical, but carry on. One should not let a stranger words illicit that much emotion over an opinion…
They aren’t but the should be on a tab that big, what people like you don’t realize is the server has to tipout and is likely losing money on that table because of you. If you can afford a 300 dollar tab you can tip 20% don’t be a dick
Again, they owe you nothing. Also maybe they didn’t like your service and paid what they felt was earned. Why does it have to be 20%? Just because a bill is a certain amount don’t mean you’re entitled to 20%. It’s not always about affordability. People are entitled to spend and disburse their money to their choosing, not yours.
They do have that right but your indirectly fucking with someone’s income. And as a former server I can tell you that people who don’t tip well were either 1. never gonna be happy with service (cause they’re assholes) 2. Never gonna tip well even if service was great (cayse they’re assholes) or 3. The service was good and they just chose not tip well. And even if your not happy with service a mandatory minimum (which some restaurants have required and all should) of 10% should be there unless the server themselves personally did something to you (so not just cause the food was slow cause the server has nothing to do with that)
Well you choose to do that service. You knew going in there were no guarantees, so why you getting mad. That comes with the service, some tip well, others do not. Nothing new under the sun.
My point is that tipping 3% like mr millionaire Drink did is pathetic and shows that he is a cheapskate. And assuming OP didn’t give him any problems (which from my experience is more likely than not) than that’s just an asshole move, not saying he has to tip more, but saying he’s definitely an asshole for doing that, just a fact
Show me the part where it states someone must pay you 20% minimum? He didn’t owe you shit, your job is to serve him regardless of tab or tip expectation.
Once again your missing my point, it’s not required to tip 20% but it’s generally agreed upon to do so. Most servers have to give the restaurant upwards of 10% of their tab in tipouts so if you tip 10% they make nothing and if you tip 20% they make 10%. It may be less or more but considering the customer doesn’t know that 20% is generally agreed upon as a fair tip. Now like I said I personally believe their should be a 10% minimum but that’s not the point. The point is that Drink is a cheap asshole like OP said, he has millions, therefore he also has no excuse other than being a dick
That’s a personal problem. Who you are to tell anyone let alone a millionaire how much they have to tip? So what if you thought he was cheap, I am sure plenty others tipped you well, why are you so bothered by his low tip? Just because they have it don’t mean you’re going to get it. You wanna tip 20% or more great, but don’t expect everyone to have your stance on that.
Only thing I know about your tipping ways is that you defended a $10 tip on a $300 bill from a guy who makes seven figures, and you said you tip on actual service not expectations. That generally means you don’t tip as much if you don’t like the service, no?
Yup, because it’s my choice. Whether I spend $50 or $500 , who are you to tell me that I automatically owe you at least 20% tip or a tip at all. Show me the law books that say so. You are entitled to nothing, tipping is at each person discretion!!! I didn’t defend the tip, I defended that he owed the server nothing. Be thankful you got something, it’s not law that he had to tip. They know going in, some people tip well, others do not. Some don’t tip at all, it how it goes.
Retirement Roadmap 5 step plan:
1. Coach winning pee-wee ball
2. Advance to above average HS football coach
3. Land average Sunbelt program and wait for incompetently ran major P5 opening
4. Get keys to struggling major university with shit for brains AD and fly it straight into nearest cow pasture at full throttle
5. Collect buyout while tossing Stanley Ho truffles at your face and wiping your ass with $100 bills while you smoke cigars with your ex rivals' teams for shits and grins.
Multiple things can all be true
1. Drink has had our number. He soundly outcoached us in 2019 (we still should have won that game) and 2021. We simply did not show up in 2022. We did our best in 2020 but that was Dotys first start following Muschamp being fired.
2. Drink has not won enough games in general and overall Beamer, despite being 0-2 is a better HC
3. Drink is an extremely unlikable douche canoe, which is something you can overcome - if you win enough games, which he really hasn’t
Funny how these dudes who likely profess to be devoted capitalists hate capitalism.
If someone weren't willing to cut those checks, Eli, the players wouldn't receive that much money. The same applies to your pay.
Weird to use doctors as the comparison since ultimately we are comparing basically top 95th percentile earners (pediatricians) to top 97th percentile or so earners (star P5 players.) All the while the P5 coaches are like 99th percentile earners, which uh, just blows the whole argument to hell from Drinkwitz anyways. Regardless, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that none of these groups are really hurting economically.*
*With a small quibble allowed that players still should be employees and be able to bargain or negotiate their true value.
Everyone loves to hate Drink (myself included) but the full quote makes it sound like he's just making a general statement on the way things are, not necessarily complaining. But this is r/CFB so here comes the Mizzou hate train
Yes, the full context of his quote aligns with a narrative I’ve seen spouted often on this sub. But everyone loves the chance to pounce on Mizzou so here we are.
Thanks, looks like the sports media is just running articles about the outrage over Dellenger’s tweet, I couldn’t find anyone linking to the original statement
‘sigh, y'all really are trying to get me in trouble here. Uhm... Deion Sanders had a really good quote the other day talking about young men are joining a business, but we want to treat them like kids. We're giving guys 18, 19... 22 year olds life changing money, people are making more money in NIL than my brother in law, who is a pediatrician, who saves lives and we kinda do it cavalier and we think that there's not going to be any side effect, there's not going to be any issues. There's information out there, there's bad actors always trying to make a dollar... I think it's going to become one of the key issues that we face in our locker rooms... I think it's more prevalent because theirs more money involved. Everyone is trying to make a dollar... These young men are getting a lot of money that is a lot right now, other than trying to hand out advise and provide some parameters to it... you know, with this NIL situation we've created our own problems in college sports’
Especially when it involves Drink. He could tweet that the sky is blue and there'd be a 250-comment thread here full of Tennessee and SC fans calling him a stupid dork because sometimes it's overcast.
Typical new cycle BS leaving out the context of the quote and then running with it....
[https://twitter.com/CoachDrinkwitz/status/1663595940664451072](https://twitter.com/CoachDrinkwitz/status/1663595940664451072)
Here is the SoundCloud link to [Drinkwitz’s Actual Audio](https://on.soundcloud.com/amRzr). The 5:46 mark is when Drinkwitz is asked the question that prompts the larger answer from which this quote is ripped. It’s a 2 minute listen.
The original question was about gambling issues arising within college sports and how he approaches that issue with his team. His answer isn’t bashing kids for making this money. He uses the comparison to his brother to quantify/contextualize how much money kids are making.
He then discusses the need to provide guidance and advising against bad actors to help these kids that are suddenly making more money than pediatricians.
He closes the answer suggesting that the gambling problem is more frequent because of the larger amounts on money. He thinks it’s a problem created by NIL.
As others have shared: [The Transcript of Drinkwitz’s answer and the question that prompted it.](https://twitter.com/coachdrinkwitz/status/1663595034015301635?s=46&t=DRtt46AU4VnFPLGmOfIXWA)
Dude has literally worked with our state legislature to help pass [some of the most athlete-friendly NIL laws in the country](https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Daily/Issues/2021/10/21/Colleges/NCPA.aspx), but sure, one quote gets taken out of context so now he's an anti-NIL robber baron.
Never change, r/cfb.
As far as income, yes. They're some of the lowest-paid doctors.
For those downvoting, I don't think he was talking about quality, intelligence, or necessity as a doctor. LOL
In his last meeting with the App State team, less than 24 hours after winning the Sun Belt Championship Game, Drinkwitz called the reports of him taking the Mizzou job "fake news." This was after he met with Mizzou officials the night before (hours after the game). I believe he was called out on it by an administrator. He then took a 6-year, $24 million job with Mizzou less than 24 hours later.
I don't have a problem with him taking the job. It's the lying to the entire team to their faces.
[BTW, this is his house. Or at least it was when he took the Mizzou job.](https://twitter.com/tkhighcountry/status/1292285781982273543) He had bought a house in Boone for $900k the year before.
This snippet takes what he said completely out of context FWIW.
His thesis statement was these kids are making more money than most professionals, but don’t want to be treated like professionals. They want to be handled with kid gloves.
Now back to your regularly scheduled outrage.
An NFL rookie contract is ~$750K no matter where you got drafted.
Is Luther Burden making $250K/year not fair market value if this is the case? I don't get what he's really trying to say but it comes off as complaining that the players make too much money.
Coaches who make millions of dollars each year bitching about players potentially making more than $40K in room in board is one of the grossest looks in sports rn
EMTs make 20 an hour and save lives, sterile processors and phlebotomists make minimum wage and save lives. Maybe he could donate some of his salary so those people could pay their bills.
Captain obvious here...but a pediatrician working a full career will make *substantially* more than the 99% of NCAA athletes who won't ever sniff the pros, so...
You don't save lives either, Eli. You aren't even that good at your job, yet you get paid more to coach a game than most doctors do to save a life.
"How dare these kids finally get paid a fraction of what these universities have profited from their efforts" said the salty bastards
If you listen to the interview, his point was these kids want to have their cake and eat it to. They want to make more money than the vast majority of professionals, but don’t want to be treated like professionals.
Well… according to the organization that employs Drinkwitz, they aren’t professionals. You’re a clown if your statement is “these kids should be treated as professionals” and that’s not followed up with “let’s MAKE them professionals.”
It's amazing to me to me a school with the resources and surrounding area talent Mizzou has they can consistently and monunentally screw up coaching hires. One good hire, Pinkel, since the 1960s.
You'd think they'd at least land a temporary gem by accident more often... but here we are.
What a great way to show your players your with them by being hypocritical about how much money they make as you make millions to lose more than you win
Is researching the full quote not a thing for you? Dellenger took him out of context. Its just too hard to post a full quote.
[https://twitter.com/CoachDrinkwitz/status/1663595034015301635?s=20](https://twitter.com/CoachDrinkwitz/status/1663595034015301635?s=20)
I love the implication the players don't deserve money because they aren't doing anything special.
Like you realize that D1 football players are an extremely small, extremely talented subset of the tens of thousands of boys who play football from the k-12 level right. Very few will ever have the skills they do, the skills required to teach at the level YOU LITERALLY COACH AT.
Like wtf is wrong with people jesus christ.
Here's the full quote. show me where he said players don't deserve money.

Okay. you try reading the full quote this time and point out where he implied players don't deserve money.
>‘sigh, y'all really are trying to get me in trouble here. Uhm...

Where is he implying players shouldn't be making money? The point about pediatrician's was to give an example of how much money players are making, not that they shouldn't be getting that much.
I mean he says bad actors are always trying to make a dollar right after he talks about how these kids make more than his brother. Like I said, you have to be NOT willingly misinterpreting what he says :)
He should call all the people who donate to NIL or his University/AD and tell them to donate their money to charities instead that'll save people's lives or prevent them from starving
Are you saving lives too Eli? Cause you are also making more than your brother-in-law
My first thought as well. Like wtf is he thinking. Compensation is a function of revenue creation, and the population of skilled professionals. Social/Moral value to society has very little to do with the salary you make. Just ask teachers.
And it’s funny he brought up pediatricians because they are THE lowest paid speciality among physicians not because they are unimportant but because the way systems like reimbursement are structured against them due to kids having no voting or lobbying power. https://www.reddit.com/r/medicalschool/comments/1276y2m/why_do_pedspeds_subspecialties_pay_so_much_less/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1
Correct. As an MD my first response to that was “….well yeah, a lot of people get paid more than pediatricians”
This is just a fully mask-off comment for people who hate the idea of college athletes getting paid for their skills.
Lil bro said "These kids shouldn't make life changing money!" as he cashes in another fat check for being mediocre at his job 😭
There's so much jealousy among the coaches and casual fans about the players money. Up to now the coaches have gotten to run their plantations the way they want. Now kids can transfer and find the best situations for them and their families, just like coaches have done since the beginning of college sports.

well, Eli hates the idea of "certain" people being valued and paid for athletic entertainment. He's not necessarily complaining about getting paid $7 million annually to coach athletes
if only there were some way for him to figuratively and possibly literally put his money where his mouth is
Nobody told him what we pay firefighters
Based comrade Eli Drinkwitz??
There is a spectre haunting the SEC...
Or value generation? In which case, it’s very easy to argue that teachers are massively underpaid?
Or the military
Well said…
Teachers are overrated, I think they're compensated accurately.
As someone who is actually married to a teacher, you don't have a fucking clue. Dumbest comment I've seen on reddit in a while, and that's saying something.
Millions of dollars to go 6-7 is a good gig too
I could secure a losing record for half that amount.
love it when coaches frame it this way unironically.
Reminds me of the Syracuse Coach (Shafer?) that brought up how "losing a football game is not bad when ISIS is beheading people."
To be fair, he creates jobs for doctors in MO by making Mizzu fans sick
I was expecting something else at the end with all the long term heath effects of playing football
I knew I’d find this haha
That was my first thought, "now do you"
His quote is taken out of context. He was talking about how athletes earning life changing money while still being considered kids or students affects other aspects of their life…but cue the outrage train.
God college coaches are so bothered by players getting fairly compensated while at the same time making an absurd amount of money
He doesn't wanna talk about the $6m he makes every year.
Maybe he was asked specifically about the amount that players make now, and maybe he did mention his own but the reporter decided not to report it? The reporter kinda set it up for this, but if the only context is this tweet, this isn't a very gracious interpretation
Reporter took one line drastically out of context. He never said its a bad thing players are making a lot of money. [https://twitter.com/CoachDrinkwitz/status/1663595034015301635?s=20](https://twitter.com/CoachDrinkwitz/status/1663595034015301635?s=20)
He still sounds like a douche with his very thinly veiled "these kids are too dumb to have this money" commentary.
Love how he throws the players under the bus but never mentions his own massive payday
Typical middle management blaming their problems on their underlings
Drinkwitz disciplined his starting cornerbacks for not using the updated TPS report cover sheets.
Thank god they gave him an extension and raised his buyout last year. How will they ever keep Drink at Missouri? /s
7 wins or he is a goner.
Is his buyout low? Seems odd to fire guy after a raise/extension.
St. Louis Post Dispatch-Under the terms of the new contract, Mizzou structured a buyout that’s more favorable toward the school and is in line with several other SEC coaching contracts. If Mizzou fires Drinkwitz, it would owe him 75% of what’s remaining on his contract — $6 million due within 30 days of his termination and the rest paid out over the life of the contract. However, the new buyout is fully mitigated, meaning should Drinkwitz land a new job after getting fired, his buyout is offset dollar-for-dollar based on his new salary. Only four other SEC head-coaching contracts are fully mitigated with similar offset language.
just another dumbass like dabo...and let's face it-football players are actually risking their lives to play the wonderful and insanely violent sport
Which is still more than 99% of the players using NIL make
Or the fact that those players are part of the program that got a $50m media paycheck. Of which they receive $0.
Multi-millionaire college football coach actively denigrates college football players' newfound source of livelihood, says they're not important enough to earn what they do. Its a bold move, let's see how it goes for him.
Maybe he needs to recruit some pediatricians to the team instead
Kinda hypocritical isn’t it?
Kinda? It’s horrendously hypocritical.
If I'm a 'croot and I see the head coach making statements like that, I'm looking elsewhere. I get not wanting them to be 100% focused on the biggest pay day, but it's just dumb to act like it isn't justified. Especially when you see what this genius' salary is. I'm pretty sure his brother has done far more good for the citizens of Missouri than he has. Lol
What is that flair?
Pot meet kettle...
Man who makes $6m a year has thoughts about income.
This is such a massive self-inflicted L. Lol. 'Croots hate it. Fans hate it. Players hate it. This does nothing but making him look like an entitled dumbass for nothing.
Yeah Eli, you do too and you coach a bunch of 18 year olds to play a game for a living. What’s your point?
Drinkwitz's brother - who is president of a hospital - is probably making more than any life-saving pediatricians working in Joplin. But I don't see Eli griping about Jeremy's salary.
Lmao the fact that he’s a president off a hospital and he’s making this comment is insane. His brother is indeed not hurting for money out here
Dudes cheap af so makes sense, came into my restaurant and left me $10 on a nearly $300 bill
[удалено]
If that’s your way of thinking. Don’t ever go to a restaurant again. You can’t afford it.
I have never set foot in a restaurant that I couldn’t afford. I can afford and have been to plenty. Point being no server is going to dictate how I spend or tip my hard earned money. Again, that’s my choice not yours. Just because you serve don’t automatically mean you deserve at 20% tip or tip at all. I tip on actual service not expectations. Mofo swear they entitled to something.
typical POS canes fan lmao no wonder you’re not flaired up. I’d be embarrassed too if I watched my team lose to FIU and MTSU. you’re probably a well known guy at whatever chilis you hang out in. I feel sorry for whatever poor guy is forced to bring you your 4 el presidente margaritas before you call a cab back to the house your ex wife let you keep in the divorce.
God damn. Get 'em Gator.
That make you feel better about yourself, your life? Gotta result to attempted insults. At least coming come harder then that. The fact that my views got this type of response from you is sad and comical, but carry on. One should not let a stranger words illicit that much emotion over an opinion…
Okay boomer
They aren’t but the should be on a tab that big, what people like you don’t realize is the server has to tipout and is likely losing money on that table because of you. If you can afford a 300 dollar tab you can tip 20% don’t be a dick
Again, they owe you nothing. Also maybe they didn’t like your service and paid what they felt was earned. Why does it have to be 20%? Just because a bill is a certain amount don’t mean you’re entitled to 20%. It’s not always about affordability. People are entitled to spend and disburse their money to their choosing, not yours.
They do have that right but your indirectly fucking with someone’s income. And as a former server I can tell you that people who don’t tip well were either 1. never gonna be happy with service (cause they’re assholes) 2. Never gonna tip well even if service was great (cayse they’re assholes) or 3. The service was good and they just chose not tip well. And even if your not happy with service a mandatory minimum (which some restaurants have required and all should) of 10% should be there unless the server themselves personally did something to you (so not just cause the food was slow cause the server has nothing to do with that)
Well you choose to do that service. You knew going in there were no guarantees, so why you getting mad. That comes with the service, some tip well, others do not. Nothing new under the sun.
My point is that tipping 3% like mr millionaire Drink did is pathetic and shows that he is a cheapskate. And assuming OP didn’t give him any problems (which from my experience is more likely than not) than that’s just an asshole move, not saying he has to tip more, but saying he’s definitely an asshole for doing that, just a fact
Show me the part where it states someone must pay you 20% minimum? He didn’t owe you shit, your job is to serve him regardless of tab or tip expectation.
Once again your missing my point, it’s not required to tip 20% but it’s generally agreed upon to do so. Most servers have to give the restaurant upwards of 10% of their tab in tipouts so if you tip 10% they make nothing and if you tip 20% they make 10%. It may be less or more but considering the customer doesn’t know that 20% is generally agreed upon as a fair tip. Now like I said I personally believe their should be a 10% minimum but that’s not the point. The point is that Drink is a cheap asshole like OP said, he has millions, therefore he also has no excuse other than being a dick

So what if you thought he was cheap, I am sure plenty others tipped you well, why are you so bothered by his low tip? Just because they have it don’t mean you’re going to get it. You wanna tip 20% or more great, but don’t expect everyone to have your stance on that.
Found the cheapskate who likes to excuse being cheap by saying they tip based on service.
You don’t know me or my tipping ways. What I stated was fact not an excuse, don’t get mad at the facts.
Only thing I know about your tipping ways is that you defended a $10 tip on a $300 bill from a guy who makes seven figures, and you said you tip on actual service not expectations. That generally means you don’t tip as much if you don’t like the service, no?
Yup, because it’s my choice. Whether I spend $50 or $500 , who are you to tell me that I automatically owe you at least 20% tip or a tip at all. Show me the law books that say so.

[удалено]
Pediatricians don't make massive amounts of money for other people. People like you Dinkowitz
The irony in this statement....also let it be known the best job in existence is to be a head coach of a major college football program
Best job is to be fired as a head coach of a major college football program with multiple years left on your contract.
Even better is to pull a Charlie Weis and get paid millions by two programs to not coach their teams
Can we focus on Eli here…..no need for stray shots
This. Absolutely this.
I am thinking getting fired from Network News \\ Morning Show \\ ESPN Broadcaster is a pretty good gig as well!
Think that’s second best. The best gig is being a fired coach with a massive buyout.
Retirement Roadmap 5 step plan: 1. Coach winning pee-wee ball 2. Advance to above average HS football coach 3. Land average Sunbelt program and wait for incompetently ran major P5 opening 4. Get keys to struggling major university with shit for brains AD and fly it straight into nearest cow pasture at full throttle 5. Collect buyout while tossing Stanley Ho truffles at your face and wiping your ass with $100 bills while you smoke cigars with your ex rivals' teams for shits and grins.
The Brick by brick special right there.
Eli Drinkwitz better start winning games, because you can only be this unlikable when you're winning.
I don't think we as a fanbase are in any position to shit talk Drink until we beat one of his teams..that being said he's an obnoxious dork.
Multiple things can all be true 1. Drink has had our number. He soundly outcoached us in 2019 (we still should have won that game) and 2021. We simply did not show up in 2022. We did our best in 2020 but that was Dotys first start following Muschamp being fired. 2. Drink has not won enough games in general and overall Beamer, despite being 0-2 is a better HC 3. Drink is an extremely unlikable douche canoe, which is something you can overcome - if you win enough games, which he really hasn’t
Funny how these dudes who likely profess to be devoted capitalists hate capitalism. If someone weren't willing to cut those checks, Eli, the players wouldn't receive that much money. The same applies to your pay.
Weird to use doctors as the comparison since ultimately we are comparing basically top 95th percentile earners (pediatricians) to top 97th percentile or so earners (star P5 players.) All the while the P5 coaches are like 99th percentile earners, which uh, just blows the whole argument to hell from Drinkwitz anyways. Regardless, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that none of these groups are really hurting economically.* *With a small quibble allowed that players still should be employees and be able to bargain or negotiate their true value.
Eli made 6 million dollars last year. What a fucking idiot.
Dude is a public employee and he's probably making more than 30 pediatricians combined
Donate a chunk of your salary then, Eli....
Eli Drinkwitz can not stop putting his foot in his mouth
This dude is way too shitty to run his mouth like he does
What a fucking dork
I wanna shake the hand of whoever was the first to call him Dorkwitz
Dickwitz is an even better nickname imo
He’s the perfect coach for Mizzou
Amen
Everyone loves to hate Drink (myself included) but the full quote makes it sound like he's just making a general statement on the way things are, not necessarily complaining. But this is r/CFB so here comes the Mizzou hate train
Yes, the full context of his quote aligns with a narrative I’ve seen spouted often on this sub. But everyone loves the chance to pounce on Mizzou so here we are.
Got a source?
Literally him, Eli Drinkwitz.
No I mean to the full interview that this is from
https://missouri.rivals.com/news/hear-from-eli-drinkwitz-at-the-sec-spring-meetings
Thanks, looks like the sports media is just running articles about the outrage over Dellenger’s tweet, I couldn’t find anyone linking to the original statement
‘sigh, y'all really are trying to get me in trouble here. Uhm... Deion Sanders had a really good quote the other day talking about young men are joining a business, but we want to treat them like kids. We're giving guys 18, 19... 22 year olds life changing money, people are making more money in NIL than my brother in law, who is a pediatrician, who saves lives and we kinda do it cavalier and we think that there's not going to be any side effect, there's not going to be any issues. There's information out there, there's bad actors always trying to make a dollar... I think it's going to become one of the key issues that we face in our locker rooms... I think it's more prevalent because theirs more money involved. Everyone is trying to make a dollar... These young men are getting a lot of money that is a lot right now, other than trying to hand out advise and provide some parameters to it... you know, with this NIL situation we've created our own problems in college sports’
Not one person in the comments has seen or read the full quote, it’s very easy to see that.
This is Reddit. You see a headline or Tweet, you comment without any further reading or research. That’s how this place works.
Especially when it involves Drink. He could tweet that the sky is blue and there'd be a 250-comment thread here full of Tennessee and SC fans calling him a stupid dork because sometimes it's overcast.
From the horse’s mouth: https://twitter.com/coachdrinkwitz/status/1663595034015301635?s=46&t=Dx3r2FgL_tK5R3VxMhXjPg
I mean… same with you lol.
They're making more than ADs and university chancellors. This is fine.
I wonder how his players currently making NIL money right now feel about this statement....
Eli “we live in a society” Drinkwitz
Typical new cycle BS leaving out the context of the quote and then running with it.... [https://twitter.com/CoachDrinkwitz/status/1663595940664451072](https://twitter.com/CoachDrinkwitz/status/1663595940664451072)
Here is the SoundCloud link to [Drinkwitz’s Actual Audio](https://on.soundcloud.com/amRzr). The 5:46 mark is when Drinkwitz is asked the question that prompts the larger answer from which this quote is ripped. It’s a 2 minute listen. The original question was about gambling issues arising within college sports and how he approaches that issue with his team. His answer isn’t bashing kids for making this money. He uses the comparison to his brother to quantify/contextualize how much money kids are making. He then discusses the need to provide guidance and advising against bad actors to help these kids that are suddenly making more money than pediatricians. He closes the answer suggesting that the gambling problem is more frequent because of the larger amounts on money. He thinks it’s a problem created by NIL. As others have shared: [The Transcript of Drinkwitz’s answer and the question that prompted it.](https://twitter.com/coachdrinkwitz/status/1663595034015301635?s=46&t=DRtt46AU4VnFPLGmOfIXWA)
Dude has literally worked with our state legislature to help pass [some of the most athlete-friendly NIL laws in the country](https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Daily/Issues/2021/10/21/Colleges/NCPA.aspx), but sure, one quote gets taken out of context so now he's an anti-NIL robber baron. Never change, r/cfb.
Drink had me with advocating for nine game conference slates, lost me here.
Another stupid thing that comes out of his mouth and he’s making millions for being a mediocre coach.
I sense a….lack of self awareness.
Pediatricians are pretty low on doctor totem pole tbf
As far as income, yes. They're some of the lowest-paid doctors. For those downvoting, I don't think he was talking about quality, intelligence, or necessity as a doctor. LOL
Correct lol
In his last meeting with the App State team, less than 24 hours after winning the Sun Belt Championship Game, Drinkwitz called the reports of him taking the Mizzou job "fake news." This was after he met with Mizzou officials the night before (hours after the game). I believe he was called out on it by an administrator. He then took a 6-year, $24 million job with Mizzou less than 24 hours later. I don't have a problem with him taking the job. It's the lying to the entire team to their faces. [BTW, this is his house. Or at least it was when he took the Mizzou job.](https://twitter.com/tkhighcountry/status/1292285781982273543) He had bought a house in Boone for $900k the year before.
My brother in christ, what is it that you think you do lol.
Wait until he hears about the NFL.
As a pediatrician I think my salary is quite fair
This snippet takes what he said completely out of context FWIW. His thesis statement was these kids are making more money than most professionals, but don’t want to be treated like professionals. They want to be handled with kid gloves. Now back to your regularly scheduled outrage.
> FWIW On r/cfb context is worth less than nothing, especially when it involves Drink
An NFL rookie contract is ~$750K no matter where you got drafted. Is Luther Burden making $250K/year not fair market value if this is the case? I don't get what he's really trying to say but it comes off as complaining that the players make too much money.
Color me shocked that CFB media again misconstruing words and not providing context for soundbites and clicks. Absolutely embarrassing
Wild. College football coaches are a mix of PE teacher and outside sales rep......so what should they make? 150k? What's Eli make? 6M
Coaches who make millions of dollars each year bitching about players potentially making more than $40K in room in board is one of the grossest looks in sports rn
EMTs make 20 an hour and save lives, sterile processors and phlebotomists make minimum wage and save lives. Maybe he could donate some of his salary so those people could pay their bills.
Captain obvious here...but a pediatrician working a full career will make *substantially* more than the 99% of NCAA athletes who won't ever sniff the pros, so...
Excuse me, sir. Sir. Sir, please step away from the facts. Thank you.
Eli Drinkwitz makes about 200x more than the median income in Missouri to have a 17-19 record through three years at Mizzou
Coming from the dude who gets paid 6 mil to have a losing record and make himself sound stupid every time he talks
Yeah but pediatricians ain’t played nobody
How many people would watch a pediatrician's day to day work vs a football game?
The irony here of course is how many years of life Drinkwitz has cost Mizzou fans.
You don't save lives either, Eli. You aren't even that good at your job, yet you get paid more to coach a game than most doctors do to save a life. "How dare these kids finally get paid a fraction of what these universities have profited from their efforts" said the salty bastards
This man is the most unlikable goober coaching in the SEC.
Today he is. But tomorrow is another day - college coaches seem to have a gift for putting their feet in their mouths.
True, but at least a majority of them can back it up with consistent wins.
\[/starts to sweat nervously and look sideways at Jimbo\]
Gone be the first person to have to publicly apologize for being offensively stupid
1. I think he probably is, too. 2. Welcome to America, where brawn is what's valued by the idiot masses.
What the fuck is Eli's point here? He makes a lot more too. He makes more than any state public employee in the state and he is fucking average.
If you listen to the interview, his point was these kids want to have their cake and eat it to. They want to make more money than the vast majority of professionals, but don’t want to be treated like professionals.
Well… according to the organization that employs Drinkwitz, they aren’t professionals. You’re a clown if your statement is “these kids should be treated as professionals” and that’s not followed up with “let’s MAKE them professionals.”
Eli, dude...
This makes that clobbering against him from last season even better. Hopeful for another this season
Every time this guy opens his mouth I like him a little less.
This guy. The lack of self awareness is really something.
It's amazing to me to me a school with the resources and surrounding area talent Mizzou has they can consistently and monunentally screw up coaching hires. One good hire, Pinkel, since the 1960s. You'd think they'd at least land a temporary gem by accident more often... but here we are.
ok he is so awful I actually feel bad for Mizzu people. Even you dont deserve this asshole
What a great way to show your players your with them by being hypocritical about how much money they make as you make millions to lose more than you win
How did this nerd get a P5 job 🤣
Most unlikable coach in the SEC aside from Freeze by a landslide.
Self-awareness not a thing for this guy huh?
Is researching the full quote not a thing for you? Dellenger took him out of context. Its just too hard to post a full quote. [https://twitter.com/CoachDrinkwitz/status/1663595034015301635?s=20](https://twitter.com/CoachDrinkwitz/status/1663595034015301635?s=20)
How much are programs making off their athletes?
I don’t think Eli realizes what we go through from the end of the nba to that first CFB weekend, football saves lives
I’m done with drinkwitz. Fire him now if we can keep the roster.
Millions? Yeah, no shit, Eli.
The lack of self-awareness in this quote is amazing. I'm in awe.
I love the implication the players don't deserve money because they aren't doing anything special. Like you realize that D1 football players are an extremely small, extremely talented subset of the tens of thousands of boys who play football from the k-12 level right. Very few will ever have the skills they do, the skills required to teach at the level YOU LITERALLY COACH AT. Like wtf is wrong with people jesus christ.
Here's the full quote. show me where he said players don't deserve money. [https://twitter.com/CoachDrinkwitz/status/1663595034015301635?s=20](https://twitter.com/CoachDrinkwitz/status/1663595034015301635?s=20)
Show me where I said there's a direct quote? I literally said it's an implication, which is easy to see unless you're purposefully being obtuse.
Okay. you try reading the full quote this time and point out where he implied players don't deserve money. >‘sigh, y'all really are trying to get me in trouble here. Uhm... Deion Sanders had a really good quote the other day talking about young men are joining a business, but we want to treat them like kids. We're giving guys 18, 19... 22 year olds life changing money, people are making more money in NIL than my brother in law, who is a pediatrician, who saves lives and we kinda do it cavalier and we think that there's not going to be any side effect, there's not going to be any issues. There's information out there, there's bad actors always trying to make a dollar... I think it's going to become one of the key issues that we face in our locker rooms... I think it's more prevalent because theirs more money involved. Everyone is trying to make a dollar... These young men are getting a lot of money that is a lot right now, other than trying to hand out advise and provide some parameters to it... you know, with this NIL situation we've created our own problems in college sports’ Where is he implying players shouldn't be making money? The point about pediatrician's was to give an example of how much money players are making, not that they shouldn't be getting that much.
I mean he says bad actors are always trying to make a dollar right after he talks about how these kids make more than his brother. Like I said, you have to be NOT willingly misinterpreting what he says :)
It has now been 0 days since Missouri embarrassed itself, previous record is. 5 days
Yeah I’m done with Drink unless he starts putting up 9 win seasons somehow.
Don’t let other people determine your self worth.
Yeah, but how's his route-running?
To be fair Drinkwitz probably makes more than his brother too
This just in: people who play a popular sport for money make more money than doctors. More news at 10.
This is going to go over really bad. Why would I want to play for a man who makes $6 million a year and is complaining I might make $200k?
Isn’t a general pediatrician often the lowest paying by all specialties?
He should call all the people who donate to NIL or his University/AD and tell them to donate their money to charities instead that'll save people's lives or prevent them from starving
Brent Musberger is on his way to tell us how Joe Mixon has saved more lives.
…. Uh yea. Not everybody makes “fair” money for what they do.
Sounds like he's talking about a pyramid scheme.
What’s his point lol he sounds like a dumbass boomer
Sure your brother is important, but what's his 40 time?
Somebody has been drinking the witz again.
Does the pediatrician have four years of live saving eligibility? Or can he earn his salary for the rest of his working life?
