COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMOX) - It seems Mizzou head coach Eli Drinkwitz wasn't too sad or surprised about Dan Mullen losing his job as head coach at Florida. His Tigers put the final nail in Mullen coffin in Saturday's one-point victory over the Gators.
On Tuesday, he was asked about their history – following a brawl between the teams last year – and Drinkwitz gave a quote that will long be remembered:
"My father-in-law is a farmer and there’s an old saying you reap what you sow. And I believe that just like everything else, yeah if you sow kindness, you reap kindness. If you sow jackass-ability, you get jackass-ability. I’ve done my fair share of jabbing people and know that it’ll come back to you so I think it’s just part of the game."
Drinkwitz gave the quote on on 1010XL in Jacksonville. In case you don't remember, here's the brawl from last year that was sparked by a late hit on Florida QB Kyle Trask:
Three players two were ejected after the incident, two from Florida and one from Mizzou.
The wild quote from Drinkwitz come after he also perfected some next-level trolling after the game on Saturday. He left his post game press conference with a "May the force be with you" after putting his black hood over his head and picking up a toy lightsaber.
He likely did it to mock Mullen's move last year, after Florida routed Mizzou 41-17. He showed up to his press conference in a full Dark Vader costume:
After that game last year, Florida was 10-9 under Mullen.
He coached four seasons in Gainesville, after starting out 29-6, he's only won five of Florida's last 14 games.
