Sources: Dismissal of Mizzou D-line coach related to argument with player

COLUMBIA, Mo. • With one game left in the season, Missouri 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 Wednesday. “We have a very high level of expectation for our student athletes, and for our staff that applies to an even higher level.”
