It didn't go well.
For the first time in 15 years, Missouri has a new head football coach. I figure that's as good a reason as any to dive into the archives and read about previous Mizzou coaching changes -- the good ones, the great ones, and the terrible ones. And with the amazing depth of Newspapers.com, we can dive pretty deep.

Gwinn Henry wasn't Missouri's first head coach, but he was the first one to make a sustained impact. He coached the Tigers from 1923 to 1931, peaking with a brilliant four-year run (1924-27) during which Mizzou went 25-6-3 and 19-3-1 in the Missouri Valley.
