UNLV Football Hires Barry Odom as New Head Coach

UNLV fired former head coach Marcus Arroyo after three seasons.

Their new hire, Barry Odom, was the defensive coordinator at Arkansas for the last three years and they have made it to a bowl game every year he has been there. Before that he was the head coach at Missouri from 2016-2019.

He should be a good add for this UNLV team as he has experience being in a Power 5 conference let alone the SEC. He will bring an elevated level of play and and toughness to the Rebel facilities.

As a head coach of the Missouri Tigers, he had a record of 25-25.
