Coordinators up for head coaching jobs
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) – Gary Pinkel is on the verge of a second contract extension in two years that would keep him at Missouri. But the Tigers’ recent success has Pinkel’s top two assistants being talked about for head coaching jobs of their own.
Offensive coordinator Dave Christensen and defense coordinator Matt Eberflus, both longtime Pinkel aides, have been mentioned as candidates for potential head coaching vacancies.
Christensen’s name has been linked to Washington, New Mexico and Wyoming, while Eberflus is believed to be among the top choices at Toledo, where he started at linebacker under Pinkel and later served as an assistant.
