Odom will be accepting the DC job.

Is this official?

Only thing ive seen remotely close is,

Per @GabeDeArmond on @TMASTL , former MU LB and current Memphis Defensive Co-ordinator Barry Odom is the favorite to replace Dave Steckel.

Love the hire....as long as it doesn't piss off Kul

Have a link?

Frank Cusumano just opened his radio show saying Odom looks like the guy.

He interviewed Pinkel today. The interview is HERE.

I'd have to re-listen, but I'm pretty sure he said Mizzou is now Top 5 in CFB wins over the last 8 years.

Thankie.

notsince98- if in some crazy way MU lost kul, got less notoriety for the DL but then won the SEC?

we already push "Crazy" way beyond normal boundaries just getting to ATL,,, don't think we really want to push it further.

If this is true and comes to pass, it tells me that at this stage of his career at MU, he wants someone more proven over an unproven with potential. Seems to me he may be looking at the 'end game' of his coaching career here at MU.

Gotta keep coach Kul happy. Really surprised GP didn't promote from within (if the Odom hire happens), although in a way he would be doing that, since Odom is obviously a part of the MU family.

He also has ties in the memphis area which should be good.

I live in Memphis and a couple of months ago on a local sports radio show a retired High School coach was giving his local high school picks. He was asked about how Memphis University was turning the program around and what he thought of it. He said MU was doing a great job with the talent that they are allowed to talk to.

When asked what he meant by that he said the HS coaches in the Mid South area are like Pimps. His words. They let there better players talk to the better teams coaches. MU has not been allowed to talk to the premier players in this area because the HS coaches have not allowed them to talk.

I heard MU ex head coach Tommy West say the same thing a year after he was fired from MU. If this is true I hope the Mid South HS coaches let Odom and company talk to the premier players since Missouri is in the SEC.
