South Carolina thinks they have Herman in the bag. If Rhoades wants him, they need to move fast.

I wouldn't mind Odom, but a first-time HC is risky.

Y'all should hire Mike Leach.

I'm sure many would hate it, but that damn guy can coach, and he's a clone of Bobby Petrino in that area and that can win in the SEC like Petrino did.

Leach has done an unreal job at Wazzu capped off with the UCLA win tonight, and it's entertaining as all hell football. If he can retain the DL coach among a few other on that side, I think it'd be a homerun.

He went to a complete no talent shithole at Wazzu, a team that was 1-11, 2-10 before he got there, and they're now 7-3 in the PAC12 and with who they have left, likely going 9-3 this year. Just insane.

Probably won't happen, but Leach will upgrade jobs very soon and deservedly so.

Yeh, Gabe is reporting that Herman is at the top of tUSC list. He says it's up to Herman of which place (situation) he likes better and it's also a timing issue for Mizzou. I think Odom clouds the air a little for Mizzou because they have to make a decision and pretty quick or maybe lose their number one HC candidate to a rival school. tUSC doesn't appear to be in the same boat and they have had a head start on Mizzou by several weeks.

I personally have no idea if Odom could handle such a big step. I think he would approach it much in the same way if not exactly the same way HCGP runs the program now. The question really isn't if he can coach, we know he can coach. The question to me is can he take the program to the next level? A step above GP? I just don't know. I would imagine that it would be rough to take your first HC job in one of if not the toughest FB conference in America. Tough way to learn the ropes.

I could support an Odom hire. But my gut tells me it would be a rough start. I think Mizzou has to go for an experienced head coach right now. I think Odom deserves a shot at some point. But, I don't know if it's right now.
