College Football Coach Quits Job for Family Reasons With Immediate Effect After Making $430K in 2024

1 min read

Just when the Missouri Tigers seemed to be settling into a defensive identity, the coaching carousel spins again—and this time, it’s a personal call that pulled the brake. The $430,000 earner during the 2024 season becomes the second defensive assistant to depart HC Eli Drinkwitz’s staff this offseason, leaving behind more than just a vacancy—he leaves a reshuffling defensive room mid-transition.

Al Davis, Missouri’s defensive line coach, has officially stepped down from his role, citing family matters as the reason for his sudden exit. The announcement came via Davis’ social media and was confirmed through a release from Mizzou Athletics. “Today I accepted Coach Davis’ resignation, as he is stepping away from our program,” head coach Eli Drinkwitz said. “I want to thank him for his time with us and wish him the best moving forward.”
