Barry Odom is losing one of his most important position coaches.
Missouri’s tight ends coach Joe Jon Finley is leaving to take the same position at Texas A&M, a source with knowledge of the move told The Star. The news was first reported by Billy Liucci of TexAgs.com.
Finley will replace Tim Brewster, who left for North Carolina to join recently hired coach Mack Brown’s staff.
A source told The Star that Finley won’t coach in the Liberty Bowl on Dec. 31 and that MU offensive analyst Garrick McGee will help coach tight ends heading into to the game.
