Perhaps that explains the delay in getting Odom hired. His reluctance to overhaul the rest of the staff.

I would equate it to hiring Bob Huggins to coach the basketball team. I would appreciate the team's likely success, but I also root for Mizzou sports for more than just wins. I went to school there, and I like it even more when I can be proud of the program beyond wins and losses. This was one of the more rewarding things about having Pinkel be the head coach. He didn't run afoul of the NCAA, he largely handled disciplinary issues fairly and wasn't afraid to make his job harder by making the right disciplinary decision, and he outperformed national expectations by developing players that others thought weren't quite as good, recruiting star-wise. There were some exceptions of course, no one will ever be Coach Taylor in real life, but that's the legacy he leaves. With a coach like Pelini I would struggle with the downsides of having him win games, and with Odom I don't think I'll have that conflict from all I can tell.
I share your sentiments other than not being an alum except I see Pelini as two steps down from Huggins so no part of me would have been excited. I probably underrate him.

Ummm, wtf? One of the best DL coaches in the entire country is likely out? If that's his choice fine, but they're making it out in the reports I've read that it's odom's choice. If so, that's a terrible decision.

We don't take 2-3 star recruits on the DL and turn them into all Americans and NFL first rounders because of luck or scheme.

It's got to be that Kulo and Ford are exploring options which seems fair. I can't believe MU/Odom would dump them.

Back to Pinkel, in this article on Markus Golden just a hint from Weatherspoon on how much Pinkel means to him. http://www.stltoday.com/sports/columns/ ... 34b63.html

Ford is back (as is Hill and Ryan Walters, plus the strength coach Pat Ivey).

On the flip side, Henson and Ricker are officially gone.

Kuligowski is kind of floating in the middle, probably gone by most accounts but nothing official yet.

I would guess that Odom's a defense guy, and Odom would probably prefer to have more say about the way the defense is run. Having an established guy like Kuligowski would make that a difficult situation. And he's obviously not going to stay as just the d-line coach anymore.

Not so fast, per Matter.

Josh Heupel, Demontie Cross from TCU... They sure seem to be loading up for a run at a lot of Texas and Oklahoma recruits. It's a bold strategy, but I'm not sure how it will play out. It's kind of a tough sale for kids in that area.
