The Barry Odom Experiment Failed

Report: Barry Odom will not return at Missouri - FootballScoop

Well, we all knew this a couple of years ago.
Wonder why Missouri took so long on something so obvious.

I guess Josh Heupel will get a phone call.

Same reason why Kim Anderson was there so long. Alumni get longer ropes.

I'm surprised they actually pulled the trigger. Where does Norvell go to Arky or Mizzou?

 

[TheReal_NU]

I hear Mike Riley is available

 

[MizzouFalcon]

So Urban Meyer to Mizzou right?

eliah drinkwitz come on down.......

Those Missouri fans are going to be very sad about this development.

Norvell is from Arkansas so his home allegiance might bring him there, but Missouri is in much better shape

Don't forget Matt Campbell!

I sometimes wonder why the hottest coaches for hire end up where they do. Some seem logical and don't end up there. Others illogical.

Matt Rhule had a lot of options other than Baylor. I was puzzled when he chose Baylor. Guess he was right and I was wrong.

Yeah. IMHO Matt Campbell has a lot better chance of winning the Big 12 at ISU than he would the SEC East/West at either Mizzou or Arkie.

Rhule must like a challenge. What he did at Temple was impressive. What he's done at Baylor is incredible.

Who'd want to go there? Serious question. Behind Vandy and Miss State this may be the hardest job in the SEC. In fact, may be harder than Vandy because vandy doesn't have any expectations.

You're geographically misplaced in your own conference. Why Missouri is in the SEC East is beyond me. You don't have a nation wide fan base following so I doubt you get many fans in most of your away games in the East.

Odom and Missouri had nothing to play for this year given their post season bowl ban and he still won some games.

Good luck to this bottom feeder program moving forward, but I don't see who wants this job.

You speak as if Missouri is a promotion within the Power 5 ranks. It isn't. I'd rather coach at any program in the big 12 then I would Missouri in the SEC East. Clearly there are very high expectations and you're geographically isolated from your own division and you're in a division with Georgia and Florida. IF you are able to overcome those obstacles you're met with Alabama/LSU/Auburn from the West.

Missouri may be the least desirable job in the P5.

Mizzou is not geographically misplaced if you look at the divisions by an angle from NW to SE and SW to NE. They actually border 2 of the states and 3 of the teams in their Division (Kentucky, Vandy and Tenn.) compared to 1 in the West (Ark.). It's the names of the Divisions that need to be changed not the teams shifted around. Yes, they'd be fine in the West, but there is still a bunch of travel to A&M, LSU and Alabama / Auburn.

And to think, Matt Rhule went to Baylor the same year Tom Herman went to Texas.

It was almost like he looked at all his offers and said, "What is the most screwed up opportunity I have? I'll take that one." Real head scratcher to me.

 

[outofyourmind]

Just another failure in a long list of failures.

Barry Odom experiment
Larry Smith experiment
Bob Stull experiment
Woody Widenhofer experiment
Warren Powers Experiment
Al Onofrio experiment.
