Drink Interviews Update

[Rekdiver]

Kiffins wife Utubed to their son a video saying Monday they are going to ole miss.

I think it’s important to remember that 99% of the people writing and tweeting about which coach is going where are completely full of shit. While it is unnerving to hear Drink’s name tossed around, I trust a magic eight ball as much as I do the stuff I’m seeing online. I won’t sweat until something is official.

Drink hasn't really been mentioned except in passing, officially. No one knows what's going on in Arkansas though so nothing would surprise me at this point.

Kiffin is a done deal, remember?

I said they were in the negotiation phase, which was true. It's possible that it still is. Malzahn 2 years ago was close to closing with Arkansas and we see how that went.

Dude, stop with the backpedaling. You have stated on multiple sites that Kiffin to Arkansas was a done deal. Nothing wrong with being wrong. Just own it.

If you can find "done deal" I'll own it. Someone else was quoted as saying "done deal". I just said he was going there because of all the information that was available at the time.

Post #253 of Coaching Carousel thread on Sun Belt Message Board. You stated and I quote,”As I stated previously, they had agreed in principal which moved them to the negotiation phase. It would seem that they have until Sunday to finalize a deal so they can get him to Fayetteville. I'd imagine Norvell and Florida State are in the same boat.”

Drink would be probably 4th or 5th in their group of targets considering the Chad Morris fiasco.

They weren't going to wait and they likely already had a scheduled meeting with Kiffin. They likely had someone tell the AD to take time to talk to Drinkwitz considering his ties to Arkansas and success to this point in his career out of an abundance of caution. Assuming Drinkwitz was at the airport when they landed and left before wheels up, he probably took 3 hours out of a Saturday to meet with them.

Saturday was when the Arkansas plane flew from Arkansas to North Wilkesboro to Boca. They landed in Boca that night and spent close to the entire next day there.

Eric, if Drink leaves, especially for Arkansas, my guess is DBG follows him. That would be adding insult to injury

Rather than address the argument, you make an insult. Good job.

News Flash, he may travel to Arkansas in the offseason for whatever reason but it won't be for work.

That is a serious statement. Arkansas has a bad stable of QBs,DBG was getting looks from P5s late when drink locked n down. It wouldn’t suprise me to see him go there. 4 years of eligibility and 1 in drinks system

Sure, he could, if his sole reason for choosing App was Drinkwitz. That's also assuming Drinkwitz leaves for Arkansas, which he isn't.

It's Kiffin, it's always been Kiffin. This stuff about Kiffin being interested in Ole Miss is a negotiation tactic.

This aged well, Eric.

Agreeing in principal pending negotiations would not mean "done deal".

That was Arkansas' number one target, by most every account and Arkansas made an offer. Clearly the negotiations fell through and Ole Miss jumped. Really helps when the agent each of their targets is using is one guy.

Just say you were wrong. There is no explaining this away.
Obviously it’s not Kiffin. Kiffin May have been first choice or top target, but it’s not and ole miss wasn’t a negotiation tactic, because he is going there

[mtneer45]

Dig in. Haha!

[proasu89]

Not always right ....but never in doubt.

In the last hour arkansas new station reporting search appears to be down to Drink, Harsin(Boise State) and Lunney Jr. , their interim head coach after firing Morris.

But you reported as being something more than the supposition that it was.

Did yall think drink saying we deserve cotton bowl felt like he would be there to coach it?

[Rekdiver]

IMO... Nope

[The Rock]

I’m really not sure he knows either way yet

Midway through this, Ethan Joyce asks him directly about Arkansas.

He says almost word for word what satt said. I'll be pleasantly surprised if he stays.

That response had one leg firmly on each side of the fence.

Basically, he doesnt have an offer yet but he gone when he gets it.

I heard it as ..... He doesn't have an offer yet but is absolutely gonna take if one comes ..... but he is less than 50/50 one will come and is trying to convince himself that he can do better next year in case one doesn't come now.

I’d hate it but I paid for 1 wedding and 2 college educations. The man has 4 of each.
