And BTW, you wanna know why hot young coaches are hesitant about our job, just look here... posters here consider coaches killing G5 as better than .500 coaches in sec play. Odom is proving he can dominate G5 alsoQuote:

2017: 37.5 (14th of 130)
2018: 36.6 (18th of 130)
2019: 25.3 (93rd of 130)
PPG at UNLV:
36.0 (19th of 133)
So outside of his last year at Mizzou, the dude has fielded good offenses. He also has shown the ability to hire solid offensive coordinators in Josh Heupel (2016-17) and Brennan Marion at UNLV who appears to be a rising star in the industry.
He's not my top choice or even in my top tier, but I'd prefer him over guys like Doeren, Fritz, Sumrall, etc.
Okay, what's up with this Chip Kelly bullshit I'm hearing?
That's it. I'm tapping out. I'm done.
I'd take him over OdomQuote:

I think they were ready to fire him and then he drummed USC so they are they are rethinking it now.Quote:

First I've heard of this. Where are you hearing that?Quote:

Another board throwing out smoke like Casey Jone's doomed train.Quote:

He would be a safe hire. We could do worse. If he brings in his OC from UNLV that's a big plus. I think some folks might start realizing Sam Pittman's success at Arkansas was predicated on using Odom's knowledge as a former head coach. There has been a significant drop off in coaching since Odom and Briles left.Quote:
