You could also say Odom's career as HC at Mizzou was plagued by cultural and recruiting issues form the previous regime as well as stadium teardown and NCAA investigation and sanctions that had nothing to do with him.

Tough-horrible unforeseen and unpredictable outcome as Bryant wasn't very good and ruined the team with his behavior off the field.

Anyone who was paying attention over those 4 years without contempt in their heart because they didn't get what the wanted in a coaching hire could easily see an overall upswing in all things Mizzou Football.
