He also has choice words for Sterk.

He calls the University's praise of Sterk "over the top" and obvious "damage control".

DRINKWITZ ON ODOM?

QUESTION:
I didn’t notice coach Drink mentioning Odom at all but actually kind of indirectly criticizing him by saying that they need to being back passion to the program? Do you think that was intentional?

MATTER:
One of my major takeaways from his press conference was his choice of language when it came to the program he was inheriting. If you watched that press conference on TV and knew nothing about Mizzou's last four years you would have thought he was taking over at Rutgers.

He talked like MU was 2-10 and drawing 5,000 fans a game.
That seemed very intentional to paint a bleak view of the state of the program. He used the phrase "restore pride in the program" three times in his 9-minute opening speech. I know it was a long, ugly second half of the season, and the bandwagon was losing fans by season's end ... but Mizzou did have its first sellout in five years this season.

The program isn't nearly as broken as some of his phrasing would indicate. He talked like the team was coming off 2015.

I get it. The worse you project the situation you're stepping into, the greater the achievement you pull off if you eventually win ... but I don't think some of that tone reflected reality. As one person from the 2019 team mentioned to me after the press conference, "Man, if we just beat Vanderbilt maybe none of this happens."



------------------------------


What ironic hypocrisy. It was Odom that took over a winning program with 5 division titles in 9 years and a 100-50 record over the previous 13 seasons, 10 bowl games. It was Odom that took over a program 12 months removed from back-to-back SEC East Championships.

It was Odom that inherited an NFL quarterback.

And it was Odom that went on and on and on for two years about he had to rebuild Mizzou. An insultingly stupid claim.

What is Drinkwitz' taking over?

A program that never once was over .500 in SEC under Barry Odom.

A program that has had a 4-game conference losing streak in every single season under Odom.

A program that went from full houses at Faurot to tens of thousands of empty seats

A program that doesn't have a single recruit in the Top 9 in-state players for next year.

A program that has no idea who is going to throw the ball next year.

A program that is much further removed from success.

A program that hasn't won a bowl game since two coaches ago.

A program that is so devoid of talent, development, discipline, or a combo of all three, that they can get their arse beat to death by Kentucky of all schools for five years. Lose to Vanderbilt. And play inexcusably close games against Arkansas (one of the worst current football programs on maybe the worst run in SEC history).

But no worries. Matter is in here to blast Drinkowitz' take on the program and heap praise on what Odom did for Mizzou.

And by doing this, Matter will create another fake news narrative that any success Drink may have will be due to Odom.

Could Matter have exposed himself as a total phony anymore than he has the past four years and... especially the last two weeks?
