Missouri Head Coach Barry Odom Really Upset With Tennessee For Recruiting His Seniors
Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports
The NCAA has banned the Missouri football team from playing in any bowl games in 2019. New rules permit seniors to transfer without sitting out if their school has been penalized, so Mizzou seniors have been getting contacted to play by other schools, mainly Tennessee. Per CBS’ Dennis Dodd...
quote:

“Everybody is going to have a bad day,” Odom said, expressing his frustration with keeping his players from transferring. “You combine that with somebody that — who’d we beat 51-17 this year? Tennessee? Yeah, those guys. They are non-stop reaching out daily [saying], ‘Hey, come here.’ The grass is not always greener somewhere else.”

Tennessee did not have a comment when contacted by CBS Sports about Odom’s stance.

The coach said that he has “made a number of calls” to conference peers pursuing his players. This comes in advance of Wednesday’s annual SEC coaches’ meeting at the league headquarters in Birmingham, Alabama.

“I haven’t gotten return phone calls,” Odom said.

“I know there is a handful of guys who are talking daily to my players,” he added. “That’s going to be a fun luncheon tomorrow.”

1. No one is transferring. 2. Mizzou owns Tennessee. 3. SEC sucks ass.

Can you blame Missouri players if they leave? There’s a lot of oppression they have to deal with at Missouri. Let’s not forget that.

I enjoyed watching Tennessee play in a bowl game three years ago.

He's got to make a big deal out of this, if he doesn't it makes it seem like no one wants his guys. But 99% of the calls are about the Clemson QB transfer. But the Tennessee dig was classic.

Yea, Mizzou doesn't take transfers and would not do this type of thing!

Any good lineman at Missouri? If so, I hope Orgeron is in that number.
