Just because the defense was a garbage fire last year and it's better doesn't mean it's better than Odom's. The 2019 team had a lower PPG against than this year's team. 2018's defense was slightly worse than this year's.
Odom probably needed to go because I am not sure he had that high of a ceiling with how his recruiting went (especially missing on in-state guys near the end), I'd argue he showed some sort of trajectory years 1-3 unlike Drinkwitz before falling back to 6-6.
I don't think there's many guys on Mizzou's offense, currently, that would start at many other SEC schools right now.
Drinkwitz is an offensive guy. The fact that he can't develop a QB or have a semi-competent offense is a major indictment against him.

Things I like:
Drastically improved athleticism and depth on defense. Each level is better. The defense has made major strides from what he inherited and especially from last season.
Better athleticism and ability at the WR spots. Burden and Lovett lead this group.
Look, I’m not saying it’s peachy. He has to get QB right and has yet to do that. In college, you can improve everywhere but if the QB isn’t right, it doesn’t matter.
Insert even average-level major conference QB play, and this team is 6-1 with a upset of the defending national champ on its resume. And the narrative is very different.
He’d better get it right next year. I’m not sure he can survive it if he doesn’t.

Shane Beamer won 7 games last year with a grad assistant playing QB. Spencer Rattler is absolute dog shit, but their defense + run game is improving. South Carolina at least has some sort of pulse to show they're going the right direction with wins to show with that.
Saying "Mizzou would be 6-1 with average-level major conference QB play" is a stretch. Yes, more times than not, not all teams would lose the 3 games they did by 1 possession. However, they lost them.
They utterly collapsed vs Georgia offensively. Auburn was also playing dog shit with QB, as was Florida.
I see maybe 2 wins (max) left on their schedule. Do you think Drinkwitz can develop the guys he brought in? Because I sure as hell don't think he can.
