“Defensive Line U” may have its next position coach.

According to Sports Illustrated’s Thayer Evans, Missouri is expected to replace long-time defensive line coach Craig Kuligowski with Arizona State defensive line coach Jackie Shipp.

The school has been looking for a replacement for Kuligowski, who had coached the defensive line for all 15 seasons under former head coach Gary Pinkel dating back to 2001.

Shipp just completed his third season as D-line coach with the Sun Devils. Prior to that, he coached under Bob Stoops at his alma mater of Oklahoma for 14 seasons, being hired as part of his original staff with the Sooners in 1999.

Shipp was taken by the Miami Dolphins with the 14th overall pick in the 1984 NFL Draft out of Oklahoma.
