Demontie Cross was a senior safety on the 1996 Missouri defense, one that featured a freshman named Barry Odom at linebacker. According to PowerMizzou's Gabe Dearmond, who's on a scooping roll of late, Odom will soon name Cross his new defensive coordinator.
Multiple sources tell PowerMizzou.com that the Tigers have reached an agreement with TCU co-defensive coordinator DeMontie Cross.
An announcement from the school is expected potentially as early as today.
Cross has slowly put together a comprehensive résumé:
- 1998-99: Missouri (OLBs)
- 2000: Sam Houston State (DBs)
- 2001-05: Iowa State (OLBs, ST)
- 2006-10: Buffalo Bills (LBs, ST, ILBs)
- 2011: Wisconsin (safeties, ST)
- 2012: Kansas (LBs)
- 2013-15: TCU (LBs, defensive co-coordinator)
He coached for Ron Randleman at Sam Houston State, Dan McCarney at Iowa State, Dick Jauron and Chan Gailey at Buffalo, Charlie Weis (gulp) at Kansas, and, for the last three years, Gary Patterson at TCU.
