Widenhofer Resigns as Missouri Coach
- Share via
Woody Widenhofer resigned under pressure Monday as Missouri football coach after compiling a 4-year record of 12-31-1.
Widenhofer’s resignation followed weeks of speculation that his contract, which expires Jan. 31, would not be renewed after his team finished 3-7-1 in his fourth season.
The Tigers showed consistent improvement each season until this one. In Widenhofer’s first year, they were 1-10, but that was followed by seasons of 3-8 and 5-6.
Widenhofer closed out his Missouri career Saturday with a 55-17 victory over Kansas, the highest point total his teams ever ran up.
There has been speculation that Widenhofer’s replacement will be Bob Stull, coach at Texas El Paso.
