There’s a running joke inside the Rock M Slack nowadays that Mizzou is currently the unofficial “Head Coach U” of the SEC. Some like to crack the joke because of the familiarity we’ve developed with head coaching changes and searches over the past decade, but I personally find the title endearing for this reason: since Mizzou joined the SEC, they’ve played in nine games where the opposing head coach was gone somewhere within a few weeks of playing Missouri. In five of those instances, the head coach was fired either directly after or one week following their team’s loss to Missouri.
