Brian Odom, younger brother of Barry, leaving MU’s staff for Oklahoma, per reports

Brian Odom appears to be headed home.

Missouri’s outside linebackers coach since 2017 and the younger brother of Tigers head coach Barry Odom will join Lincoln Riley’s staff at Oklahoma in a similar role, per multiple reports.

The younger Odom, an Ada, Okla. native, signed with the Sooners out of high school and redshirted on OU’s 2000 national-title team before transferring to Southeastern Oklahoma after the 2001 season.

Brian Odom had been mentioned as a possible candidate to join the Sooners’ staff after Riley hired Alex Grinch to be his new defensive coordinator, but it appeared Odom planned to stay in Columbia as recently as last week.
