Arkansas hires Barry Odom...

You’ll have some games where it feels like god himself couldn’t score on your defense and then the next week some scrub team will pass for 450 yards and run for another 300 on you.

Rules, man. Rules:



"Arkansas coach Sam Pittman announced Friday that he has hired former Missouri coach Barry Odom as his defensive coordinator. Odom went 25-25 in four seasons as the head coach of the Tigers from 2016-19. The hiring was announced as Odom was en route to his new home.
"I'm ecstatic that he's in his car, headed down to Fayetteville as we speak," Pittman said on the SEC Network. "I felt like I needed a guy on my staff that had been a head coach -- one that I could lean on and talk to. There's really not a better person out there, and a finer coach and a finer man than Barry Odom. I'm just blessed that he's in his car coming down here."
Pittman has never served as a head coach at the major college level. In fact, the 58-year-old's last stint as a head coach came from 1992-93 with Hutchinson (Kansas) Community College. It's imperative for anybody in his situation to have somebody on the headset who can relate to the in-game management and assist with program organization.
On the field, there might not be a better candidate out there to coordinate the Razorbacks defense. Odom's Tigers finished fifth in the SEC in defensive yards per play at 4.86 and defensive red zone touchdown percentage at 51.61 percent this season. "
