Maybe just maybe Barry Odom belongs at that level.

Want some more facts?
Barry Odom, a defensive head coach, has had more below average to awful defenses in his last 10 years than he?s had average or higher.

So in the last 5 years he?s being fired at an SEC school (his Alma mater mind you) and was awful at Arkansas as DC. It wasn?t until this year that he did anything actually good.

What?s more likely? That he figured things out finally or that he is winning in a league with bad talent and bad coaches and he just happens to be the best of the midgets?

His track record suggests he won?t be good at this level. He?s failed at it for 10 straight years basically. You can ignore his track record if you want. I won?t.
When Odom and Missouri beat Florida, Florida was ranked #11. Regardless, what he did at Missouri is above their historical averages. Also as DC, he improved Memphis and Missouri defense tremendously. His Arkansas defense was up one year and down his last. However the guy has served in about every role there is on college staff since he was a GA. Lebby has not. Lebby has been an P5 OC one year. His two years at OM, Lane was calling the plays.

It's a pointless argument. Odom isn't being considered. It seems it is down to Sumrall and Lebby.
