H3 Local Coaches - What gets them Extended or Fired?
Summary
The hosts analyze contract scenarios for Missouri’s Eli Drinkwitz, Kansas’s Lance Leipold, and K-State’s Colin Klein, defining the performance metrics required for extensions, firings, or status quo. They debate whether Drinkwitz needs a playoff berth or top-10 win, if Leipold’s struggles stem from resource constraints, and why Klein is nearly immune to firing after one year. The discussion also touches on quarterback development and the impact of NIL and transfer portal dynamics on these programs.
