It’s a very easy decision to me that it’s time to clean house.

Correction - Odom is good at defense and obviously bad with managing staff.

Dooley has to go. He has been outcoached too many times during his 2 years here. Sometimes you have to make tough choices to win a game. Sometimes you have to sit a kid you like and admire if it means giving your team a chance to pull out a game there for the taking.
Dooley has continued to march out kids who have failed to perform game after game after game.
Walters may have to go as well. Teams have been going after Bledsoe every game during this losing streak. No changes. Tennessee won this game by simply continuing to throw to the WR Bledsoe was covering.
And, good grief, add Holmes to the growing list of MU players that have regressed horribly from last year.
I don't care what the #s say, Walters' defenses have issues that have not changed since day 1.

Cool you fire DD, what sadist is coming to work for Barry fricking Odom?

I am sure he could get a lot of coaches to come be the OC. 900k a year and a HC that is hands off with the offensive staff. That’s not a hard sell.

Which doesn’t explain why Elarbee left.
It would also be essentially a 1 year contract.

Yes! This would be a very big stumbling block in getting a quality coordinator.

This is a funny spot. If we lose to Arkansas there’s no doubt he should be fired. But if we beat Arkansas and go to a bowl and win, I don’t see him getting fired with 7 wins tbh.
Loss to Arkansas -fired
Barely W @arky and/or play bad in bowl -fired
Beat Arkansas - stay
That’s just how I see it

I think he might even survive a loss to Arkansas with the bowl ban and bowl money up in the air this year. We could be $10M in the hole if we don’t get SEC bowl money.
Which would put us in a rock/hard place scenario. See ticket revenue fall below $15M or pay buyouts on potentially two ends while still being well in the red.

Aren't all SEC revenues pooled and split evenly regardless if you make a bowl or not?
If Sterk keeps Odom, no way the fans return, and attendance is likely to get worse which outs us in A bigger hole. Plus the added pressure of bond payments.
The only way I can see BO returning, is he has to have a well known OC coming in to spark optimism. But it would have to be a big name. Not sure if Major Applewhite is big enough but that's all I can think of.

Attendance is going to be down next season no matter what. The only question is can Odom rebound and win next season so that Mizzou is in a spot to be successful beyond that? Or does Sterk bring someone else is and hope that he’s better than Odom?

I believe bowl bans preclude you from getting bowl money. Ole Miss lost out on $7.8M because of it in 2017. That’s an SEC rule. Not an NCAA rule.
Posted on 11/25/19 at 4:59 pm to wubilli
Down overall? Maybe. Worse than the Tennessee attendance with a new coach? Probably not. Worse than Tennessee with Odom? Maybe.
Posted on 11/25/19 at 5:10 pm to the808bass
IS BO hands off with the offense? Rumblings tell me perhaps not.
Posted on 11/25/19 at 5:59 pm to the808bass
Depends on how the season starts. Get to Georgia 6-0 or 5-1 and attendance for SEC games will be good. That’s regardless of the coach. Fans will show up for a winner they won’t for a team that’s not winning.

Lol

Look at the first half of the schedule at Tennessee and at USCe are the 2 challenging games. Homes games against FCS, Vandy, EMU and a road game against BYU should be wins.
Posted on 11/25/19 at 6:48 pm to wubilli
One would think this year would cure of us prognosticating what games should and shouldn’t be wins.
Posted on 11/25/19 at 6:49 pm to wubilli
If Odom is coaching all of the games are potential Ls.
Posted on 11/25/19 at 7:07 pm to the808bass
Nope. The team lost several games that it should have won this season and attendance tanked. Win those games and attendance will be good next season. It’s pretty simple.
