Barry Odom was 4-0 against Arkansas as Missouri's head coach, and less than two weeks after his alma mater fired him, Odom landed a new job: Arkansas defensive coordinator.

The Tigers’ former head coach is staying in the Southeastern Conference and will run the Razorbacks defense in 2020, new Arkansas coach Sam Pittman announced on "The Paul Finebaum" show Friday.
