Report: Mizzou hiring Jethro Franklin to coach defensive line

It took Eli Drinkwitz a little more than two weeks to find a new defensive coordinator to replace Ryan Walters. By comparison, the search for a new defensive line coach felt like a breeze.

Just four days after it was reported Brick Haley would not return to Mizzou — and just two days after Steve Walks was officially hired as DC — PowerMizzou broke the news on Sunday afternoon that Jethro Franklin will join the staff as the new DL coach.

Much like Wilks, Franklin comes with an impressive resume comprised of NCAA and NFL experience.
