Mizzou football is planning to hire a former head coach as an offensive analyst

The Missouri football program is planning to add someone with experience to help first-time offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Derek Dooley.

A university source confirmed that the Tigers are in the process of hiring Garrick McGee as an offensive analyst. Powermizzou.com first reported the expected hiring.

McGee has experience as a Power Five coordinator and a mid-major head coach. He was most recently the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Illinois, but he was fired in December 2017 after two seasons working for head coach Lovie Smith. He had spent the two seasons prior that in the same roles at Louisville, where he worked under Bobby Petrino, who also hired him to work at Arkansas from 2008 to 2011 as an offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
