During the lull in Missouri football’s early signing day news cycle, the team announced Ryan Walters will be retained as the Tigers’ defensive coordinator.
“I’m very excited for the opportunity to continue to build on what we’ve done defensively this past season,” Walters said in a statement. ”We’ve got a good group of guys coming back and they’re excited to get to work. Columbia has been very good to me and my family and we’re thrilled to be part of the community and Mizzou.”
Since Eli Drinkwitz was named Missouri’s new head coach Dec. 10, rumors swirled concerning which of Barry Odom’s assistant coaches would be retained and which would be let go.
