UNLV announced on Tuesday that it has found its next football coach with the hire of former Missouri head coach Barry Odom. Odom will be formally introduced in a press conference Wednesday morning.
Odom arrives in Las Vegas after a three-year stint as the defensive coordinator and associate head coach at Arkansas. Previously, he spent four years as the head coach at Missouri, posting a 25-25 record from 2016 to ’19, peaking with an 8-5 mark in ’18.
On Monday, a report surfaced that linked former LSU coach Ed Orgeron and former Boise State and Washington coach Chris Petersen to the UNLV job.
