With Bush Hamdan departing Missouri for Boise State, Missouri sits in a spot where they have to fill a spot on the offensive staff and that spot very well could have the title of offensive coordinator attached to it. There was speculation that Hamdan taking over as a play caller at times this season would lead to an eventual title change for him here at Missouri. For Hamdan though, the allure of having the keys to the offense at his alma mater was too tough to pass up.
With the offensive struggles that plagued Missouri throughout the season, it’s important to note that when Hamdan became the primary play caller there was a substantial improvement in not just the offensive production as a whole, but also in the play of Brady Cook.
