I obviously don't know how scheduling works for these types of things, but introducing the new football coach at 9am on a Tuesday morning at Mackey with nothing else surrounding it seems a little, I don't know, weird? Are you going to get several thousand people there? I doubt it. Granted the deal and travel likely couldn't have gotten done in time for the basketball game yesterday, but couldn't it be timed better?
 
Certainly not the same circus Walters was welcomed with. Little underwhelming. Maybe we spent all the money on a new contract and NIL which is fine with me.

I'm confident they will introduce him this Saturday.
 
Personally, I like the time being on PST as I can watch while eating my breakfast.

On a further note, I believe he met with the team today. Will there be a video released of it?
 
I guess I'm curious if the players who have entered the portal were present for this introduction. I mean, they're still at Purdue, so I guess they should be, right?
 
Thanks for posting that. I had been looking on YouTube but could find nothing which seemed strange.

I think it’s exam week too so with the little energy the students have I doubt they’d show out in large numbers.

Especially during FINALS week. But, I suspect this is one of many public appearances the coach will make over the coming months. It does allow students, staff, and fans a chance to hear the coach ASAP post team meeting. I have to believe he is in the works for the next MBB game and possibly the WBB WVB. If I were advising him, you want to get out in front of the public as much as possible to drive excitement. He has to win over hearts and mind!

guess Breedlove wasn't impressed, but he seems to like moving on to different teams
 
There is a short 45 second clip. Loved the way he presented himself. Short and to the point.

Very reassuring...no mumblespeak, no over-the-top rah rah foolishness, no gimmicky name for the playbook.

Odom seems like he understands the enormity of the task and exudes a quiet, competent confidence that he is equal to it.
