re: So is Barry Odom good?

He has underwhelmed so far.

First season he changed the defense because .. well, no one is sure why. Fired the Dline coach and sent him home during the Tennessee game. Didn’t fire the D Coordinator. Or the Defensive backfield coach. Took over defensive play calling so that we had the highest paid linebacker coach in perhaps the world.

Forgot the season started in September this year. Then he fired the D Coordinator who was the D Coordinator in name only after a few games. Kicked a player off the team. Cried on the TV and invoked a player who died in practice. Then the team turned around some. The schedule softened up a lot.

I think we’d all like to see the Purdue, SCar and Kentucky games with a do-over. But that’s not football.

Then we’ve lost a few of our good recruits because we started so poorly. And Missouri has a decent high school football class graduating and we may end up with one of them on our roster. Or none.

He’ll get it figured out or he won’t.

That’s all probably more than you deserve in the way of serious conversation.
