COLUMBIA, MO. • Barry Odom has another opening on the Missouri football coaching staff and this one might come as a surprise: Brian Odom, the head coach's younger brother, is leaving MU to join the staff at Oklahoma, a source confirmed Monday.
Brian Odom, who declined comment on his status Monday, has coached outside linebackers for the Tigers the last two seasons and is expected to become the linebackers coach under new Sooners defensive coordinator Alex Grinch. Grinch and Brian Odom worked together at Washington State from 2015-16, where Grinch was coordinator and Odom served as a defensive quality control coach.
