Sources: Missouri Fires Head Coach Barry Odom

After failing to capitalize on an advantageous schedule, Missouri has fired Barry Odom after four years on the job, multiple sources have told Sports Illustrated.

The Tigers finished 6-6 and are banned from the postseason due to NCAA sanctions. They lost as double-digit favorites to both Wyoming and Vanderbilt, upsets that undercut an early schedule in which Missouri was favored in its first eight games but went just 5-3.

Odom departs with a 25-25 record, a particularly underwhelming body of work considering his quarterbacks: He had a 12,000-yard career passer, Drew Lock, for his first three seasons and Clemson transfer Kelly Bryant this year.
