Coaches in, coaches out

Reports: Finley set to become MU tight ends coach - Columbia Daily Tribune

Missouri did not have a full-time tight ends coach last season, but offensive coordinator Josh Henson worked with the group.

Of the six hires Odom made to fill out his staff, half are Oklahoma alums -- Heupel, Finley and defensive line coach Chris Wilson. All but Heupel are either Texas natives or coaches who have played or coached in Texas.

Pitts, who served as a defensive analyst for the Tigers, got caught up in the major turnover the Missouri coach staff has undergone in the past couple of months. Head coach Gary Pinkel stepped down after the season due to health issues and defensive coordinator Barry Odom was named as his replacement.

I reached out an found that the former Helias head coach leaving Mizzou had mostly to do with DeMontie Cross wanting to bring some of his guys over from TCU.

So here's Mizzou's complete coaching staff:

On beating a ranked opponent…

"Whatever game is in front of us is the game we are going to focus on no matter who is ranked and who is not. Our next game is Arkansas and that is our next challenge. No matter what, we want to get that win and we are going to do whatever we can to get it. The other stuff is just a bonus."
