Barry Odom fired by Mizzou after four seasons

It didn’t take long for Mizzou to make a decision on coach Barry Odom.

Mizzou announced it fired Odom on Saturday morning, a day after he defeated Arkansas 24-14 and finished the season 6-6. He had a 25-25 overall record while with the Tigers.

Odom was announced the coach shortly after the 2015 season ended. He was a former linebacker at Mizzou and coached under Gary Pinkel’s staff in his final year. Odom made it to two bowl games while at the helm but finished 0-2 in those games.

In a news release, athletic director Jim Sterk thanked Odom for his integrity and how he dedicated himself to developing the student-athletes over the past four years.
