Odom out at Mizzou**
- Thread starter kbozz71
- Start date
Even Missouri has higher standards than we do. Pathetic.
Great move to get ahead of the game...
That said, we are the better job. We just don’t have an administration with balls.

Odom’s buyout as of Dec. 1, 2018 is a modest $1,912,500, which ranks No. 72 nationally. Only two Power 5 coaches whose buyouts are listed have lower buyouts, both Ole Miss' Matt Luke and Mississippi State's Joe Moorhead, both listed as $0. Twenty-two coaches at schools outside the Power 5 conferences have higher buyouts than Odom, including his former offensive coordinator Josh Heupel, now the head coach at Central Florida, whose buyout is $3,587,500.

He doesn't. He wants a "yes man."
Not really sure what Mizzou expects to accomplish by this move. He has done a decent job at a time when Mizzou has battled some tough times. And Mizzounisnt exactly a place that is going to draw the cream of college coaching. Not does Mizzou historically pay as well as many others. But then again, sort of refreshing to see a program that wants to do better as opposed to embracing the mediocrity as is done in this Columbia
We are not a better job. Missuseless has a superior program historically.
DC? He might be a candidate for our head coach. Wake up. This is a turrible job in the playoff era.
Since when does the program performance perfectly correlate to the better job?
Difference of opinion I guess...
There comes a point when you realize others are willing to take chances to win and others aren't. We are definitely in the spineless category that accepts rectal exams with glee.
Gary Pinkel won 8 or more games 9 times in 14 years as their head coach. He won the SEC East twice. They gave Odom a chance because he came from the Pinkel coaching tree, but they aren’t going to stick by someone who can’t win.
everyone is getting rid of there sorry coaches. Except not us. We like sorry coaches.
So what did they do with the hundreds of millions of dollars they make every year?
What universe are you living in? For 2017-18 (the last year I found through a quick search), the USC athletics department expected to make $121.9 million and spend $102.9 million. Much of that revenue is, of course, through football, but it's not 100's of millions and that money goes to support other sports programs. They also have substantial debt for various projects (about$150 million the last that I knew). USC IS one of the relatively few sports programs that consistently runs in the black, though. My point (in response to your post) was simply that it's easier to fire someone with a $2 million buyout than a $20 million buyout.
I'm glad I checked the board before I posted this news. One thing we don't need today is "It's Another Carolina Me, Too thread.
Missouri, despite their SEC backwardness in terms of facilities, has a better athletic history than ours and they are conducting themselves as if they have higher expectations than we do as well.
We bring in $30mil+ more than they do every year AND average top 25 classes to their top 40. They destroyed us after losing to Wyoming.
