COLUMBIA, Mo. • It remains unclear if Missouri would accept a bowl game invitation after finishing the regular season with a 5-7 record. But it’s clear who won’t be coaching the Tigers should their season continue in the postseason: Gary Pinkel.
Athletics director Mack Rhoades appointed quarterbacks coach Andy Hill interim head coach on Saturday, a source confirmed. PowerMizzou.com reported the news first. Hill, MU’s associate head coach, will oversee the program until Rhoades hires Pinkel’s successor, a process that’s reportedly taking Rhoades to the head coaches at Toledo and Temple for interviews.
FootballScoop.com reported Saturday that Rhoades met with Toledo coach Matt Campbell on Saturday and plans to meet with Temple coach Matt Rhule on Sunday, citing anonymous sources.
