From Barry Odom’s original staff, only running backs coach Cornell Ford (a Gary Pinkel holdover), receivers coach Andy Hill (ditto), tight ends coach Joe Jon Finley, and defensive backs coach-turned-defensive coordinator Ryan Walters remain.
Most of this attrition is due to promotion of sorts. That suggests Odom is a decent evaluator of coaching talent and could do well in finding a replacement for guys like Heupel and Elarbee. Here’s to hoping anyway. Because he’s got a lot of coaching talent to evaluate.
The Tigers were predictably swept by No. 1 seed Penn State in linear fashion: 25-17, 25-18, 25-19.
