Missouri Fires Barry Odom

[swamprat]

And we're off...

 

The Tigers ended the season 6-6, 3-5 in the conference. Odom was 25-25 in his 4 years at Missouri.

The bottom half of the SEC is running in quicksand. Good on Mizzu for trying to move forward.

They are in the bottom half....and they are in a bowl game. I guess they have someone in mind. As your boy Urban says "it begins and ends with recruiting...period." Butch Jones? Luke Fickell?

[Hellcats]

No bowl on NCAA probation.

What is Missouri’s ceiling in the SEC East?

[DanvilleFan]

What got Odom canned was the wheels coming off for Mizzou the second half of the season. The beginning of the end for them started with the Kentucky game.

 

I'm not sure who is going to top their shortlist but the one benefit of the job is that it is in the SEC East where there's a lot of room to rise outside of Georgia.

Odom would be a nice pickup for a high level team needing a defensive coordinator.

Has since fallen below Kentucky, that’s why he’s out.

I would say Kentucky leaped over them, but tomato...tomato!

What are UK's facilities like compared to Missouri?

What are UK's facilities like compared to Missouri?

 

UK's are much better. Kentucky's facilities now are on par with all but a very few elite schools.

Losing to Kentucky 5 straight years would have to hurt his cause.

I was thinking he was an offensive guy.
