Mizzou coaching search: Blake Anderson trending up?

It’s the fourth full day of Missouri’s football coaching search and names continue to emerge as candidates to replace Barry Odom.

Here’s a coach whose candidacy is picking up steam: Arkansas State’s Blake Anderson has talked to Missouri officials multiple times this week and is interested in the position, a source said Wednesday.

Other names linked to the job in recent days include Boise State’s Bryan Harsin, Charlotte’s Will Healy, Tulane’s Willie Fritz, Central Michigan’s Jim McElwain, Army’s Jeff Monken and Air Force’s Troy Calhoun. A source close to Monken said this week the Black Knights coach would be interested in the position if offered.
