US EditionMichigan OC Chip Lindsey Set to Depart After Sherrone Moore’s Firing
Missouri seeks experienced play-caller Chip Lindsey to replace Kirby Moore after his departure; Lindsey has coordinated offenses at six programs and was a head coach, CBS Sports reports.
- CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz reports that Missouri is pursuing Michigan offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey to replace Kirby Moore, who took the Washington State head coach position earlier this month.
- Lindsey's résumé includes OC stops at Southern Miss, Arizona State, Auburn, UCF and North Carolina and a head-coaching stint at Troy; he coached players like Drake Maye and Omarion Hampton.
- Lindsey said `I could not be happier to have the opportunity to work with Eli Drinkwitz in Columbia,` while reports note he appears unsettled at Michigan and unlikely to wait for a new head coach.

- Bowl timing complicates staffing decisions as Michigan prepares for Dec. 31, and Eli Drinkwitz said he doesn't know who will call plays on Dec. 27 in the Gator Bowl while Lindsey's hire signals he won't join Michigan.
