Mizzou has done some staff reshuffling this offseason after DC Steve Wilks left to return to the NFL.
Eli Drinkwitz has an open position on his staff, and per a report on Monday, he’s looking to the Sun Belt to fill that spot.
Per ESPN’s Pete Thamel, Missouri is looking at Troy CB coach Al Pogue for the open CB coach role in Columbia:
Sources: Missouri is working toward a deal to hire Troy cornerbacks coach Al Pogue as the school's new cornerbacks coach. Deal isn't complete, but the former WVU assistant and Auburn staffer is expected to reach a deal there.

Pogue was at Troy from 2014 to 2018. He had other stops at West Virginia and Auburn before eventually returning to Troy.
As Thamel reports, the deal between Pogue and the Tigers has yet to be finalized, but it seems the Troy assistant could soon be on his way back to the SEC.
