Barry Odom knows his defense needs to improve after it has dropped off since he became head coach in 2016, which is why he’s leaning on an old friend and former Chiefs assistant.
Odom has known Texas Tech defensive coordinator David Gibbs for years and Odom told reporters after Friday’s practice that he has sought Gibbs’ advice to try and get the Tigers to force more turnovers, something they used to be quite good at.
“Really just emphasizing in the meetings, making it a mindset that somehow someway get the ball back to our offense,” Odom said of Gibbs’ message.
