Read the full transcript of Dave Matter's Thursday Mizzou Chat

I don't see the same similarities you do. Mizzou football was not a broken program when Odom took over. He inherited a franchise QB who would become an NFL starter. There were some off-field issues that erupted in 2015 that Odom had to navigate through, but those weren't really football related. The program was one year removed from an 11-win season and the SEC championship game. Martin took over an absolute dumpster fire that had gone 8-46 against the SEC over three years, lost games to North Carolina Central, Lipscomb and Eastern Illinois. The situation Martin inherited compared to what Odom took over isn't in the same galaxy.
