Missouri Coach Eli Drinkwitz Faces Criticism for Inappropriate Comment About His Daughters and Quarterback

Missouri’s head coach, Eli Drinkwitz, is facing a wave of criticism after making a comment that many found uncomfortable. This comment was about his starting quarterback, Brady Cook, and it has stirred up quite a bit of controversy.

Coach Drinkwitz was speaking with reporters, and he had nothing but praise for Brady Cook. He talked about how Cook was a fantastic leader both on and off the football field. He even mentioned that Cook had been voted as team captain twice, which is a big honor.

Eli Drinkwitz’s Controversial Comment About His Daughters and Quarterback

However, things took a strange turn when Coach Drinkwitz said something that raised a lot of eyebrows. He said that if his daughters were older and Brady Cook didn’t have a girlfriend, he would want one of his daughters to date him when they turned 18.

Here is his actual words: “Everything that I ever wanted to know about Brady Cook he’s already told me.. he’s got a girlfriend or otherwise I’d be trying to get him hooked up with once my daughters turn 18.”

Why It’s a Problem

Here’s the issue: Coach Drinkwitz’s oldest daughter is just 12 years old. So, people were taken aback by his comment. It seemed like he was suggesting something that wasn’t appropriate given the age difference between Cook and his daughter.

Twitter Erupts with Backlash

After making this comment, Coach Drinkwitz faced a lot of backlash. Many people criticized him on social media and in the news for making an awkward and insensitive remark. While it’s unlikely that he’ll get in trouble with the university for this, it’s clear that his reputation has taken a hit.

It’s crucial to be careful with our words, especially when we’re in the public eye. Coach Drinkwitz probably didn’t mean to say something inappropriate, but the way he phrased his comment left a lot of people uncomfortable.
