This has nothing to do with his experience as a HC to help Sam confide in someone about HC stuff.

Twill has no experience, Enos left being a HC to be bert's OC which tells you all you need to know about his decision making ability.

Odom was more valuable off the field than on for Pitt.

Other schools will pay non field coaches for this experience and mentoring. Mizzou hired Jones from Greenwood to help drink in learning to be a HC and run a program.

Arkansas will gladly ask you to help raise a 100k, but won't spend the 100k for support staff in this regard. Or hell 20k to an intern to run Pitts twitter account.

It isn't like olden times where one man can do it all.

I wasn't saying Odom was a bad coach, just that he was checked out last year and it was time for both sides to move on.

Pittman being a poor head coach got us here. Everything else that happened is a result of that on some level. Keeping Odom would have only delayed this result.

He got us in a much better spot but it's all wasted if we don't move on right now. Time to let Gus use us again then go hire and "Arkansas guy" who will run us back into the gutter.
