COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Dallas Cowboys wide receivers coach Derek Dooley joined Missouri coach Barry Odom's staff Friday as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
Dooley replaces Josh Heupel, who left last month to become Central Florida's head coach.
Dooley, the 49-year-old son of former Georgia coaching great Vince Dooley, spent the past five seasons with the Cowboys after going 15-21 in three seasons as Tennessee's head coach. He was 17-20 as head coach at Louisiana Tech from 2007-09.
"I am excited to be a Mizzou Tiger and look forward to helping Coach Odom carry out his vision for the program," Dooley said in a school release.
