He did a lot of good for the program. Were there warts? Sure, absolutely. Think the heat of the moment is making us super critical lol |

I think the only watchable Mizzou game left may be the Idaho game. I think they got a shot in that one. For a second I thought maybe UConn also, but I think UConn is somewhat respectable so probably a step or two above Mizzous level.

What a disaster.
He has to go. I was optimistic Odom would put together a top-notch staff and could be a real success - his work ethic and fresh take were things I thought could energize the staff and lead to some nice results. It hasn't worked out that way at all. With the South Endzone project looming and the team staring down the barrel of potentially tanking ticket sales and attendance, Sterk will have to make a move. Giving him Year 3 just to be nice and "fair" would be a gigantic mistake, as you'd be basing Year 3 improvements entirely on hopes and dreams. Hopefully Sterk's football coaches list is fresh and ready to go. Personally, I would be looking at: Kyle Whittingham (won't leave Utah but you make him say that) Mike Leach (his success at Wazzou is impressive, and I think he'd relish the opportunity to win in the SEC. ceiling at Mizzou would be higher). Frank Wilson (UT-San Antonio - young and successful, was a premium recruiter as an assistant in SEC and in Texas, succeeding as HC at a tough spot) Mike Bobo (longtime Georgia OC under Richt, from Georgia, strong recruiter, having a good run at Colorado State) Blake Anderson (Arkansas State, latest in a line of good coaches at that school). There are some other names out there to think about - Dave Doeren at NC State, Mike Norvell at Memphis, and maybe even Jeff Brohm. Head coaching experience and success is a must.

Oh, and I'll still say this: Odom was not an extreme backup plan for Rhoads. Other than Tom Herman, he was Rhoads' top guy on the board.
In news that doesn't surprise anyone based on things that have transpired with Rhoads since, that was a bad call. It will be interesting to see if Sterk's respect and success as a AD carries as weight much in football circles as it did in hoops. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

It's great if they're qualified. Kermit was not. Odom has better qualifications (and would be the HC at Memphis had he not gotten the Missouri job). When they're not qualified, it's a disaster. Especially when a contingent of the fan base is emotionally attached to alumni. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Get the most qualified coach available. Period. If that's an alumni, hire him. If it's an Alaskan fisherman, hire him Odom and Kim were terrible because they are awful, unqualified coaches. Not because they are alumni |

Too many times it is like duncan referred to, an emotional attachment that clouds the judgement of those making the decision. Odom brought DeMontie Cross (an old teammate and alumni, there's that word again) with him which spelled his doom. And FTR....sometimes even the most qualified coach available can't turn around programs. It's a crap shoot and somehow you have to get lucky and find that diamond in the rough. |
