The Missouri Tigers head coach previewed the team's upcoming fall camp in a press conference Sunday.
The Missouri Tigers reported for fall practices Sunday, with the first practice scheduled for Monday morning. A month from the first practice, Missouri will be kicking off its 2024 season by hosting Murray State at Faurot Field on Thursday, August 29.
Missouri now having high expectations presents a new challenge for Drinkwitz and the Tigers. However, Drinkwitz preaches to his team that if you ignore outside noise when its negative, you also have to ignore it when its positive. "The reality of it is just whether or not our players buy into that process of being vulnerable in Tiger Olympics and unity groups, you know, being able to spend the time necessary to build bonds. There's no microwave to it. There's no exact formula. It's going to be uniquely this group's challenge to form those bonds by spending time together, by handling and facing adversity."Fall practices breed competion and create opportunity at open roster spots.
This rule change led to some changes to the Missouri coaching staff, with three assistants stepping into new roles. David Blackwell, hired as a defensive consultant in March of 2023, was promoted to defensive tackles coach. He will work in tandem with defensive line coach Al Davis.
