Eli Drinkwitz isn’t going anywhere, and Missouri just made sure of it. The Tigers’ head coach agreed to a massive new contract extension on Thanksgiving Day that will keep him in Columbia through the 2031 season. It effectively shut down any speculation linking him to openings at LSU, Penn State, or Auburn.

The 42-year-old coach, who has led Missouri to back-to-back 10-win seasons and a 21-5 record since the start of 2023, took to social media with a simple message: “My family and I are thankful to be @Mizzou. The support from our President, the Board of Curators, AD, boosters, and fans is special!” This marks Drinkwitz’s third contract extension in just under two years, showing Missouri’s commitment to keeping one of the SEC’s rising coaching stars.
