All of those programs have better bloodlines than Missouri. Even if he took Mizzou to 2007-2013 levels, I don't think that anyone could blame him for taking the first two jobs. But if Tennessee has another opening and needs a rebuild, is it really a better job?
SEC West:
Alabama--Best program in the country
LSU--Almost anyone takes this job
Auburn--Hard place to satisfy, but unquestionably a premier program
Texas A&M--Just so many resources
I don't see the other SEC jobs as being definitively better than Mizzou *if* he's building it to the point where he's using it as a stepping stone.
ACC:
Clemson--Now an elite program
Miami and Florida State are better programs with more resources to draw from, but if I'm winning at Mizzou and I've seen Miami struggle for 20 years and Florida State fall into a tailspin over the last five plus years, do I want to go to those environments?
A winning Mizzou program is on par with a Virginia Tech, and I don't see why he'd leave for North Carolina or Virginia
Big X:
Ohio State: A top five program
Michigan, Penn State: Historic programs that have issues
Michigan State, Nebraska--If you're winning at Mizzou, do you want to go there?
Big XII:
Oklahoma, Texas: Elite programs, but Texas is a giant pain in the ass
Oklahoma State: If you're winning at Mizzou, do you want to go here?
Pac XII:
USC: Tremendous potential, but a meddlesome department
Stanford: A lot of challenges here given the student profile
If he's winning 10 games a year there are a lot fewer programs that he'd probably want to go to. If he's winning 8 games a year, I could see numerous programs that could lure him.

Yeah, kind of the same boat Jason Campbell is in.
If Drinkwitz can be successful at Mizzou, the likelihood of him jumping for a non-blueblood job is pretty low.
Give him resources, take care of him, and Mizzou can keep him for a LONG time... unless he does so well an Alabama or LSU or Auburn wants him.
^ and if that happens, you're going to be in great shape to hire the replacement.
