13 of the 34 players were linemen. You are saying that kind of attrition doesn't impact a teams long term recruiting strategy? We can agree to disagree.
Not when you're recruiting and coaching well at some point.

He made mistakes his first year. Not at all uncommon. In fact, poor first years are the norm.
First year as HC in the SEC tends to be a baptism by fire. Coaches that had great success right off the bat tend to land in situations where a team is loaded with talent but poorly coached, such as when Malzahn took over a stacked Auburn team.
You guys will have an idea of what you have in Odom after next season, good or bad.

Agreed. If he can improve this year, outstanding. After all, it will be hard to be as bad as last year.
For starters, I'd be happy with just beating the teams we are supposed to beat............. Like an MTSU
Let's see what Odie brings this year

The question will be, in the bigger picture, does wiBO move the program forward from what GP was able to accomplish or will he take the program back to mediocrity at best.
Do people think that Mizzou can move beyond what GP did? GP got us close a couple times. I could see moving up to tier 1 in about every conference but SEC is stacked at tier 1. I mean you need a lot of horses and money to win the conference in the SEC.

Not really. Being a game away from the National Championship a few times is probably our ceiling. Real talk. Football is a tougher game to break through to a National title game than basketball. Neither is easy.

Football is tougher, more expensive, takes longer, and we are in a conference where winning the conference championship is usually as difficult as winning the national championship.
So I don't see why not.

Because of how the SEC is I believe Odom could improve Mizzou but it may not be reflected in a better W-L. I mean it would be a huge improvement (IMO) to go to the wire in the big games instead of the fourth quarter blow out. I would truthfully think we could be onto something big if that were to happen in the next year or two.
Really I will be happy with it if Odom can hold ground record wise with what Pinkel's last 8 or so years was, that is pretty good considering our competition in the SEC. Winning/tying the division 5 out of 8 years will probably never happen again. I mean that just doesn't normally happen for anyone except the blue bloods.
If Odom can do better than GP I will be ecstatic. It is just going to be very hard, almost unrealistic, to do that in the SEC, especially as long as Saban is here.
