COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) _ Missouri has fired defensive line coach Jackie Shipp.
Coach Barry Odom did not detail exactly why, but a statement from the school on
Wednesday said it was due to an “internal matter where his conduct didn’t meet
our expectations for coaches.”
Shipp, who was a coach at Arizona State from 2013-15, was hired in February to
replace Chris Wilson, who left Odom’s staff after one month to serve as
defensive line coach for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Shipp’s salary for 2016 was $385,000. Neal Renna, a graduate assistant, will
assume Shipp’s duties for the Tigers’ final game of the season at home against
Arkansas on Friday.
