Barry Odom Fired

New DC.

Bring him to me.

Either him, or Charlie Skrong when he gets the axe next week.

 

[MizCane]

Would be a good option for us at DC. He runs a 4-3 and is way more qualified than anyone on that side of the ball.

 

[Rellyrell]

I would take Charlie or Barry over Blake in a heart beat.

 

[The U Code]

I’m gonna put in an early prediction on this one, Mizzou hires Huepel away from UCF and UCF promotes Randy to HC, there is your Miami connection to this news.

 

[TheOldU2002]

LOL if you think Odom or Strong is going to come work under Manny Diaz.

Next week? Strong won’t make it to Sunday dinner.

Odom available and Chad Morris
Want to make a splash hire at DC and OC, there you go

Are u aware of Odom’s defensive philosophy, it’s a 4-3 but read and react, not an attacking defense.

Manny isn't hiring guys with more HC than him. I doubt he's humble enough to do something like that, even after this horrid season.

I mean, he hired Enos who has more HC experience than him.

But you're probably right.

I'm picking up some real Golden vibes from Manny, and I got a horrible feeling he's going to double down on what we're doing offensively and insist Miami football doesn't need a spread.

 

[MizCane]

Anxious to see what he does with the coordinators bc I’m not sold on either especially Enos.

 

[MedleyCane]

Odom was Fuentes' DC at Memphis and Bud Foster is retiring.....could he be VT bound?

 

[omaha]

The offense will only get better with OL development and TVD at QB.

He's adapted before, though. He was running a 3-4 at Mizzou for a time, and I think he was running a base 4-2-5 this season from the few games I saw.

Biggest problem with Odom is he's an *******. Think Enos (personality wise). But on Defense.

Good call.

 

[MizCane]

Good call.

****.. probably will be since they have familiarity and Fuente seems to be a long term hire there while Manny’s stock is bottoming out.

A new DC is needed. Need a stronger personality on that side of the ball.

Kevin Kane is a hard nose DC at SMU. He is young 36. They gave up some points but they get after you. He’s big on TFL’s and takeaways and dares you to pass.

Has nothing to do with Manny's "stock". It is more to do with coaches' tendencies to hire people they know or worked with in the past....anyways, not sure why folks think Odom would be a good hire at UM.
