Barry Odom has a diverse coaching staff because he hired really good coaches

Yesterday Missouri Football had a closed scrimmage, and since it was closed we officially have nothing to report. Unless you’re the Antlers.

The lede to Dave Matter’s article is a doozy, and it’s one worth reading. Honestly, it’s refreshing to see a question like the one posed to Odom during SEC Media Days met with surprise. In composing his staff, Odom has pursued experienced coaches he believes in and can trust. Interestingly enough, of the 10 paid position assistant coaches, seven are manned by black men.

Missed this yesterday, but Alex Schiffer is back to his Friday recruiting rundowns, and he caught up with recent Mizzou offer and Michigan native Pierre Brooks Jr.
