Michigan is moving fast to replace Sherrone Moore after dismissing him for cause on December 10, with the Wolverines hoping to name a new head coach before the end of the month. As the team prepares to face No. 13 Texas in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl under interim coach Biff Poggi, analyst Josh Pate has identified Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz as a serious candidate.

Drinkwitz, who has led Mizzou to strong recent success and is on a lucrative six-year deal worth around $64 million, has downplayed the rumors, calling them a distraction and reaffirming his commitment to Missouri. Still, with a tight timeline, Michigan’s search is expected to intensify quickly.
