After just four seasons, Barry Odom is out as the head football coach of the Missouri Tigers. PowerMizzou reported the news Saturday morning.
Taking over for Gary Pinkel after he stepped down following the 2015 season, Odom struggled through the first year and a half of his tenure. From his first game against West Virginia on Sept. 3, 2016, through an Oct. 14, 2017 loss to Georgia, Odom’s record as head coach sat at just 5-13.
But Odom began to gain steam as a coach over the next season and a half, winning the next six regular season games of the 2017 season before losing to Texas in the Texas Bowl and then posting an 8-5 record in 2018.
