Eliah Drinkwitz,
MIZZOU Football Coach |
A winner at every stage of his coaching career, Eliah Drinkwitz – considered one of college football's top offensive minds – was introduced as Mizzou’s 33rd head football coach in December of 2019, and despite all of the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, led his 2020 Tigers to a 5-5 record against an all-SEC slate. Drinkwitz, who took over the Tiger program following an impressive 2019 season at Appalachian State that saw the 20th-ranked Mountaineers win the Sun Belt Conference title en route to a 12-1 record, joined Warren Powers as the only head coaches in Mizzou history to take the Tigers’ bowling in their first season patrolling the sidelines in Columbia.
Prior to App State, Drinkwitz spent three years as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for record-setting North Carolina State teams (2016-18), after excelling in a similar role at Boise State for two years (2014-15), where the Broncos won the Mountain West title in 2014 and finished 12-2 and ranked 16th nationally. In 2015, Drinkwitz was promoted to offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, and he helped the Bronco offense rank in the top 15 nationally in points (39.1) and yards (501.3) per game.
Before Boise, Drinkwitz was a key figure in back-to-back Sun Belt championships in 2012-13 as running backs coach and co-offensive coordinator at Arkansas State. He got his first taste at the FBS level in the Southeastern Conference, as he served as a quality control assistant at Auburn for the 2010-11 seasons. The Tigers won the SEC in 2010, and went on to the BCS Championship that season with a perfect 14-0 record.
Drinkwitz, 37, graduated magna cum laude and was the student body president at Arkansas Tech before beginning his coaching career at the prep level in his hometown of Alma, Ark., in 2005. He and his wife have four daughters. |
