In the two major sports (football and men’s basketball), firings at Missouri are a rarity. Bob Stull was run out of town after failing to dig Mizzou Football out of a pit in 1993. His successor, Larry Smith, briefly found the surface but fell back into the hole and got let go in 2000. Quin Snyder was eventually fired by Mike Alden (via Gary Link) in 2006, once someone could actually track him down.
