Barry Odom Rumor

[MBDawg601]

I get that Malzahn isn't and probably never was on the table.

I see people commenting that they would not want him anyway. He is a NC head coach with a couple SEC championships during the Saban era. He would be a HR hire. He is the only coach within reach with that type of resume.

#1. His wife is not leaving South Florida. I don't blame her.
#2. He did not win a Natty as a head coach. Jimbo beat him with Jameis.
#3. He had AU booster money buying him talent. He had a couple of top ten classes.
#4. Refer to #1.

As to Odom, I'm softening a bit on him now that it looks like he was the brains behind Pittman at Arkansas, but we still should be able to do better than him.

Yeah, there was a post on Hogville, somebody's wife there is friends with his wife and they said that she is not leaving Florida.

[CoachT14]

If we are going to the retread route with a defensive HC that has SEC experience?. Why not Manny Diaz?

He can at least recruit. Odom is terrible recruiter. They both like fast paced fun offense unlike most defensive guys. At least Diaz can recruit.

She doesn't have to come with him...

She's crazy as a loon. Likes make Nelle look sane.

[Maroonthirteen]

Yeah the con on Odom is he did not recruit above MUs average ranking.

Diaz had two opportunities in Starkville and left both times after one season. That guy would hop to the first offer he receives.

Damn the Torpedoes and full steam ahead for the path of Least Resistance to get the same ole bland no frills no dynamics Coach we have always had! Good Grief Charlie Brown! SMDH! 🙄🙄🙄

[confucius say]

I'm not advocating for him. I'm pointing out the absurdity that people are much higher on Odom than they were for the clearly superior Malzahn.

Preach

Smoot for Head Coach!

Why would Fleck leave Minn for us?.

Why would we want Fleck? I want no part of this dude. He's going backwards at Minnesota. They are about to be 5-7. His "Row the Boat" schtick is tired and phony. I don't like that guy and wouldn't want him here anyway.

Makes sense, that might move him to #1. He might even give us a discount.

[Coach34]

He's been married 36 years to that crazy mf'er. He aint leaving Fla if she says no

I stand corrected on the NC. I forgot he was OC in 2010.

Regardless, he is an established winner. Jumbo just proved high recruiting classes does not win games.

I know he is not coming, but I do not get the people saying they do not want him.

FWIW, Odom dealt with Covid year (and yes I know everyone did) but he also dealt with some WOKE BS at Mizzo when their enrollment dropped. A lot of student?s parents (and some students) didn?t care for that BS and i?m sure it didn?t help recruiting.
We could do worse than Odom.

Per Tweet Marion Brennan has interviewed for HC of San Diego State

That is good news. Glad to hear it wasn't Brennan Marion. We dodged a bullet right there! 🤓

Agreed. I think his experience at Missouri is a value-add, even if his W-L record isn't as gaudy as we'd like. I'm leery of the small-school flavor of the month types who have never coached in the SEC.

[TrapGame]

Barry Odom was asst. head coach at Arkansas. He had a heavy hand in overseeing the program. Pittman relied on him a lot.

I'm good with Odom if it comes down to him but I think we can and will do better.

He didn't win a natty but he played for one with a WR/CB playing quarterback. Any MSU fan crapping on his resume is delusional.
