Lay out a strategic vision of where you want your players to come from. You do this by:

(1) As coach you hire coaches that are excellent recruiters who can coach. (2) Actually let those coaches do what they do best coach and assign areas to recruit that they (as coaches) have proven they can recruit (3) As a head coach you must be an excellent talent evaluator. If not surround your self with quality coaches and have them teach you to learn the process. Everyone needs a mentor. (4) develop offensive and defensive schemes that fit your players capabilities. (5) Build cohesion and teamwork. Players must buy into head coach philosophy. If not, players need to be processed out of the program.
(6) Emphasize that players play for Mizzou, not themselves.
(7) Learn and sing the alma mater with the players.
(8) Identify recruits early on and build relationships.
(9) Be relentless in all that you do.
(10) Bring respect to Mizzou in every thing you do.
(11) Make it fun for the players to play for Mizzou.
(12) Embrace those who have played for Mizzou.
(13) Aspire to compete and win the conference.

I would say Odom brings a lot of these qualities to table in spades.

It's not known how good of a recruiter he is yet, but he's letting his coaches coach and is relentless.

When you hear him speak you can tell he has passion and his vision is clear. Hopefully he's not so analytical that the players aren't having fun. And I'm not sure how he'll ever get these DLinemen to buy into the scheme change, considering they were the superstars of the previous one.

The talent gap between Mizzou and the top of the SEC is as wide as it's ever been, so wiBO has his work cut out for him.
