My point about Liberty is that they are absolutely loaded. If you don't know that , then well.......
They can compete with us on a HC salary if they choose to.

They can pay for a new roster every year and buy out. If it doesn't work then they move on and are back on track the next year

You are both wrong actually- I did my homework.
Kansas and State spend damn near the same on football. It's a literal lateral move except now they have a chance to win their conference and we dont

The rumor on GP is Barry Odom will be our next head coach.

Interesting- the Barry Odom/Kendal Briles rumor is gaining steam

I would prefer he keep his current OC if he gets hired. They are exceptional on offense this year.
-
Not a sexy hire if it's Odom. But I'll support it. Just win

Odom is a good defensive coach. If he gets the right OC I'm 100% on board. It may not be a sexy hire but it could be a very good hire

People are going to look at his SEC time and be against it but he has reinvented himself at UNLV and running a totally different offensive scheme that is making a big difference in his success.
-
Barry Odom wouldn't be my first choice but if it's him he's a dang good defensive coach and if you've watched his unlv teams they're offense is pretty spiffy and he has them playing well. He's matured as a HC it looks
like and he knows the sec. I don't know that it'll be him but we could do worse

Watched them the last two weeks. They are running exactly what we should be running on offense.
Their OC is a star. Idk why you'd go for a trash OC in Briles. He's a trash human. Has tons of baggage. And didn't even do well in his OC stint at Ark or TCU.
I really ****ing hate that we are even entertaining such shit human beings and not squashing the rumors with our mouthpieces.
I get it, football is king and winning is paramount. Kendal and Lebby aren't good enough to warrant that kind of talk. They aren't "can't miss". They're above average at best. And with the baggage, they should be an auto skip.

Do we really want to hire Missouri's reject?
A lot of us are uncomfortable hiring an Auburn reject who finished ranked 5 times in 8 years, or a Texas reject who finished ranked 3 times in 4 years, but people are fine with a guy who never finished ranked at Missouri? And on top of that, another defensive guy when there was near unanimous agreement that we need an offensive head coach?

If we were to hire Odom I would prefer he bring his current oc with him. Ive watched probably 6-7 of their games this year and I like that offense

Brennan Marion is someone I have followed for a couple of years now. His Go go offense is potentially the next big thing. There are rumors that Marion will end up at Penn State as their OC. Matt Mumme at Colorado State has taken elements of the Go Go offense and added it to Leach's old Air Raid scheme.
Odom does have a good eye for offensive coaching talent it seems like.
People can say what they want about his time at Mizzou but he never had a losing season there. And he's probably a much better coach now than he was then.

I'm not exactly sure why so many MSU fans seem infatuated with Kendall Briles. At first I assumed it was because some fans thought that he could bring KJ Jefferson with him. His current OC is considered much better. I would be much more on board with Odom and Jeff Lebby honestly if I had to choose between Lebby and Briles.

His Resume is very much like Kiffin’s. He got hired for a head job too young and then went to coaching rehab at Arkansas and a G5. He’s not the same coach or running the same offense he was 5 years ago.

They associate the name Briles with awesome offenses. None of them have probably ever heard of his current OC, who will run the most exciting offense we have ever had here. He goes up tempo A LOT and he marries the power run game with the air raid. It’s a mixture of what everyone here wants.
