  • S2, E13: Coach Eliah Drinkwitz- How to Build a Team
    S2, E13: Coach Eliah Drinkwitz- How to Build a Team Joe interviews the head coach for the Missouri Tigers football team, Eliah Drinkwitz. Coach Drinkwitz discusses his approach coming into a new football program and cautions against the one mistake that leaders can make that will quickly erode trust. He also shares some practical advice on communication, avoiding the trappings of ego, and investing in players on and off the field. Click here to listen to the episode S2, E13: Coach Eliah Drinkwitz- How to Build a Team | 1 S2, E13: Coach Eliah Drinkwitz- How to Build a Team About Eliah Drinkwitz (@CoachDrinkwitz) Of the SEC’s four new head coaches to begin work in the nation’s toughest conference in 2020, Drinkwitz’s 5-5 regular-season record was the league’s best, ahead of Ole Miss’ Lane Kiffin (4-5), Mississippi State’s Mike Leach (3-7) and Arkansas’ Sam Pittman (3-7). In addition, Drinkwitz and his staff have signed a Top 25 recruiting class (ranked No. 20 currently by Rivals.com) to help secure a promising future for the storied Mizzou program. Drinkwitz’s offensive acumen has been a key element in his team’s winning five conference championships while compiling a perfect 8-0 bowl game record in 10 seasons at the FBS level. The combined record of his teams from 2010-20 is 108-42 overall (.720), including a 66-30 conference mark (.688). The 2019 campaign saw Drinkwitz turn in one of the most impressive FBS head coaching debut seasons ever. His Mountaineers set a Sun Belt record with their 12 wins, and also set the mark for the best regular season in conference history (11-1).
