Mizzou fires defensive line coach Jackie Shipp

COLUMBIA, Mo. • With one game left in the season, Missouri has fired defensive line coach Jackie Shipp.

"Jackie Shipp is no longer coaching for us, due to an internal matter where his conduct didn't meet our expectations for coaches," Missouri coach Barry Odom said in a statement released by MU. "We have a very high level of expectation for our student athletes, and for our staff that applies to an even higher level."

According to multiple sources with knowledge of the situation, Shipp’s dismissal is related to an argument he had with a Mizzou player before Saturday’s game at Tennessee.
