It’s pretty crazy how similar Barry Odom and Kim Anderson are.

Let’s look at their similarities:

Both hired because they’re Mizzou alumni? Check.

Had no prior experience as a Divison I head coach before getting the job at Mizzou? Check.

Can’t recurit themselves or hire a staff capable of the recruitment of talented D1 players? Check. (Out of the top 9 players in the state of Missouri for the 2018 class, we got 1 to commit here. ONE! frickING ONE!

Have big ego’s and believe their way is the right way even if they’re losing? Check.

Start players that shouldn’t be starting? Check.

Make excuses rather than taking responsibility when things are going his way and we’re losing multiple games in a row? Check.

Hired by an AD that left our school not even 5 months after the hire was made? Check.

Attendence drops dramatically after they’re hired? Yup.

Consider this my Saturday afternoon melt



As funny as that melt is, I think you are being a little hard on Odom. I mean, Mizzou's defense was the worst I have seen in conference at the beginning of the year, but they did their tackling drills, worked on their technique, and improved over the course of the year. Mizzou could have easily been the worst team in conference last year, but he coached his way out of it. As for the low attendance, that is on Mizzou fans. I mean he has a good offense and is far from a boring team. I don't know what else a coach can do to generate excitement for spring game.

Unfortunately, Mizzou fans really don't care about football. We have a loser fanbase that self identifies with losing and adversity. I've always said that Mizzou fans are happiest when they are miserable. They are much more passionate about failure than success.

I was there. Only because I have kids. They like going. Otherwise spring games are pointless and boring. The attendance wasn't substantially different than any other time I've went.
