Eli Drinkwitz Calls Coaching Rumors ‘Fake’ in Candid Finebaum Interview

He rejects the chatter to refocus attention on Missouri’s trip to No. 10 Vanderbilt.

Overview

  • In a Wednesday appearance on The Paul Finebaum Show, the Missouri coach labeled reports tying him to other jobs as fake.
  • He turned the question with a zinger about Finebaum considering a U.S. Senate run, drawing laughs on air.
  • Drinkwitz said there is no candidacy list and no calls coming in, explicitly dismissing 247Sports-style hot boards.
  • Reports have linked him to vacancies at Florida and Penn State, a topic he said was addressed with his team and staff.
  • No. 15 Missouri visits No. 10 Vanderbilt on Saturday in Nashville, where ESPN’s College GameDay is scheduled to be on site.
