Barry Odom Fired

MedleyCane said:
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.

He’s a proven DC at Memphis and his 1 year at Mizzou. Every year he improved his unit and his 1 year at Mizzou was top 10 in the country.

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.

True - always forget about his CMU experience because it was a few jobs ago. But then again, look at how uncontrollable he is - this would be the same.

I’m hoping we at least get rid of Enos, I can live with our D. But Enid can’t even coach the QBs let alone run an offense. He’s gotta go
 
I would definitely bring in Barry Odom as DC, he had Mizzou with the 16th ranked total Defense & 10th in the nation against the pass. But I highly doubt Manny would ever hire a guy like that, Odom has too big of an ego for him & wouldn't want a another HC as a DC usurping his power.

However Odom does run a 4-3 & switched to a 4-2-5 this season so he is familiar with our style of Defense. But no way Manny fires Baker, that's his protege.

We need to go get Cornell Ford & bring him on in some capacity (obviously not as RB coach), but that dude is one the best recruiters in the country. Check his background, he was a CB's coach help landed them great Defensive players all over the Defense & switched to RB's coach 3 years ago & kept it going. He recruits every position player & he was the guy behind recruiting a lot of those great Defensive lineman that Coach Kool was sending to the NFL at Mizzou.

Also Brick Haley would be a good addition to the staff, he's got very good history as a DLine coach, I like Stroud but would still find a spot somewhere on staff for Haley.

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.

No way White promotes Randy.

Randy then gets in his feelings and quits or is fired by the new coach.

Hypothetical: Would we welcome him back in Coral Gables as the DC?
