COLUMBIA, Mo. — As Missouri athletics director Jim Sterk continues to look for his next football coach, some members of the UM System Board of Curators aren’t thrilled with some of the choices being presented as options, multiple sources told the Post-Dispatch on Thursday.
Sterk has shared with some board members that Mizzou is targeting Arkansas State’s Blake Anderson, Army’s Jeff Monken and Louisiana Tech’s Skip Holtz, a source confirmed. Board members did not outright reject any candidate, but some are worried about the public fallout if Mizzou doesn’t consider other high-profile coaches instead of settling for lesser-known names, especially after firing Barry Odom, a Mizzou alum whose last three teams were 21-17 and each won enough games to be bowl eligible.
The board must vote to approve a major head-coaching hire that would come with a seven-figure salary. The board has not met in any official capacity to discuss the hire. Jon Sundvold, the board chairman, tweeted as much Thursday, adding, “The search continues and remains confidential to respect the privacy of all individuals involved.”
There is mutual interest between Mizzou and Anderson, sources have confirmed. Anderson, 50, has talked to MU officials multiple times about the position and is interested in the job, per sources with knowledge of the process.
Anderson has won at least seven games each of his six seasons at Arkansas State with an overall record of 46-30 while winning 75 percent of his Sun Belt Conference games at 36-12 with two conference championships. He’s 1-4 in bowls and will lead ASU to a sixth bowl this postseason.
