I know people like Odom, but...

1. He only coached the Defense at Memphis for 1 winning season before coming to Mizzou.

2. Memphis actually improved as a team after he left. Was it his coaching, or Fuente's that made the difference.

3. The glaring weak spot on defense was Safeties. Coached by the guy Odom picked.

4. Odom doesn't have that signature defensive game yet. What makes him different from other good DC's. Not recruiting so far, why does he get the reins of a SEC program?

Mizzou has a shot at Herman if they offer him the same salary as was being paid to Pinkel. It's a lot, but it would make a statement about the direction of Mizzou Football.

Not that I don't agree that Herman is the best option, but look at what Memphis was when Odom went there.
He took a defense that was ranked below 120 nationally and improved each year to a top 20 team in 3 years.
Memphis offense was terrible the first 2.5 years there.
Every team Mizzou has faced this year has had a below average production.
Who knows the f he will be a good HC, but he is one of the best DCs in the nation.

Fricking kidding me? The man has gave up the least points of anyone in the SEC. Odom should be our HC. Kul should be the new DC. Now as far as OC, that's the big tamale.
