Just two games into his second season as Missouri's defensive coordinator, DeMontie Cross is looking for work. Cross was relieved of his duties after Saturday's 31-13 loss to South Caroline, the school announced on Sunday.
"I am very appreciative of all that DeMontie has done for Mizzou, and am sorry that it did not work out," coach Barry Odom said in a statement, according to Gabe DeArmond of PowerMizzou.com. "However, after careful evaluation, I believe it is important to make this change now."
Missouri used to be known as "D-Line Zou" -- a moniker it earned through years of consistently producing fantastic defensive fronts that wreaked havoc in opposing backfield's.
