It was a very trying year in Columbia for the Missouri Tigers. This team dealt with continuing offensive ineptitude, watched its starting quarterback get suspended twice, was at the center of a student-led, on-campus protest that made national headlines, and watched longtime head coach Gary Pinkel resign because of health reasons. Defensive coordinator Barry Odom was promoted to head coach last week.
A program that had done so well with battling through adversity dealt with far too much on and off the field to produce a respectable 2015 season, as the Tigers went 5-7, including 1-7 in SEC play.
