Chauncey Simpson
A long-time assistant coach on Don Faurot’s staff, Chauncey Simpson acted as the standing head coach when Faurot served in the Navy during World War II.
He helped lead the Tigers to a Big Six championship in 1945, his third and final season as head coach, and compiled a 12-14-2 record in three seasons before returning to his post as an assistant.
In addition, Simpson played football for Missouri, served as the school’s track coach during World War II and spent many years as the program’s golf coach before retiring in the late 1960s.
