Head coach rumor.....

[msstate7]

If you're gonna go apples to apples, here's both's record in G5...

Chadwell 50-22 (.694)
Odom 9-2 (.818)

They're both 46, so it's hard to give chadwell credit for not being as successful as Odom earlier in their careers. By successful, I mean Odom was a sec coach at 41 (pretty young).

ETA... Odom's 1st 2 years at Missouri, he was 11-14. The same 2 years, chadwell was 10-13 at Charleston southern and coastal Carolina

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 also

[KOdawg1]

The only reason I would be halfway open to the idea of Odom is that he's shown he's committed to having good offenses.

PPG at Mizzou:
2016: 31.4 (48th of 128)
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 Odom

Doubt he'd come here at his age. I don't think he deserves to be fired at ucla

[Coursesuper]

This entire thread is depressing.

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

[EdwardDrayton]

He is not coming. You need to remove him off your board.

Name the source or get off my lawn.

[EdwardDrayton]

Odom would be a disappointing hire.

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

[BuckyIsAB****]

The more you look at it, and given he brings the OC with him and can get a good staff, we could do worse than Odom. He should be a solid plan C or so if he can get all that done

[DownwardDawg]

Odom would be a disappointing hire.

I thought so too at first. The more I looked into his career, I think he's solid. Not a flashy hire by any means, but solid.

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

Needless to say, if we can get off the pocket book and make an exciting, splashy hire, we need to do it in the worst way. A hire like Odom will be very meh to all of the state fans I know in NE MS. Going to take a lot to remove the apathy and lack of hope in my area. Firing ZA was a start in the right direction, now show we are serious about football in the SEC with this hire.

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.

We definitely need to swing for the fences. Odom should be plan C or D at best

Hmmm not sure I'd even call that a solid hire at this point but still need to watch some more of his game tape to look at in-game adjustments and game planning. On the other measurement criteria he seems very mediocre.

Wait for it folks ........... I agree with you Bucky.

Lol!! It's a miracle!!!!

Yes, think so too but truly there are several better choices that we're capable of pulling. But will we do what is necessary. That's always been the question with our hires.
