Last week, as we were still digesting the news of defensive coordinator DeMontie Cross’ firing and weighing its possible effects — first impression of those effects, by the way: not great — we had a brief exchange in the Rock M Nation Slack room about how much turnover Barry Odom has dealt with in his first year-plus in charge, as compared to the rock-steady continuity Gary Pinkel dealt with at Mizzou.
Odom is on his third defensive line coach in under two years and has now either lost or forced out his defensive coordinator (Cross) and cornerbacks coach (Greg Brown) as well.
