Missouri head football coach Eli Drinkwitz has publicly addressed speculation linking him to the Florida State coaching vacancy. The rumors emerged amid uncertainty surrounding the Seminoles' program, prompting Drinkwitz to respond directly to the reports.
Drinkwitz, who has led the Tigers since 2020, spoke on the matter in a recent media availability. While the specific details of his remarks were not fully disclosed in initial reports, sources indicate he took a firm stance regarding his commitment to the University of Missouri.
The 41-year-old coach has compiled a 31-21 record at Missouri, including bowl appearances in each of his first four seasons. His name has surfaced in coaching searches previously, but he has consistently expressed a desire to build a sustained winner in the SEC.
Florida State is seeking a replacement after parting ways with Mike Norvell earlier this season. The Seminoles' athletic department has conducted a broad search targeting both established head coaches and rising assistants.
