Al Onofrio coached the University of Missouri for seven seasons beginning in 1971.
The Big Eight AP Coach of the Year in 1972, he compiled some tremendous road upsets in his 12 total years on staff with the Tigers. With Onofrio at the helm, Missouri went on the road to defeat Notre Dame, Alabama, USC, Ohio State and Arizona State, but the Tigers finished 1-6 against Kansas during his tenure.
Missouri appeared in two bowl games under Onofrio, losing the 1972 Fiesta Bowl to Arizona State and winning the 1973 Sun Bowl against Auburn.
