Missouri dismisses assistant coach over conduct issue

3672003



    

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.
