UNLV Interim not OC
- Thread starter Boilerfla
- Start date
Boy that sure makes it sound like the staff is coming with.
Let’s hope that is the case. That would be the best case scenario for us.
Let’s also hope this new staff can recruit, because the Transfer Portal opens up officially today.
Would hope that was part of the negotiations also!
What Odom needs to address immediately is the portal, both the Purdue guys who are now in it plus the best gets he can find from other schools. I really, really hate to say it, but Odom needs to work the portal like Jeff Brohm.
Watching the AD at his press conference it sounded like he would prefer to hire a current hc or a Coordinator who had hc experience. He was asked about their current oc and just said hes considering all options.
His scheme doesn’t work here or at any level.
People forget that he ran Odoms system at Mizzou and that Bielema wouldn’t let him implement his full system at Illinois.
The only 2 years he was actually in charge of the scheme were a disaster. I’d pass
Both Purdue and Ryan Walters need to move on. Walters is young. He can still have a successful coaching career--and he'll be fabulously wealthy doing it. But, he needs to chart a new path. So does Purdue.
Keeping a guy who got beat by 34 points or more in half of his games around the program would be the height of stupidity. Get him as far away from here as possible and let Odom do his thing.
Well okay. So the success he had at Illinois was more in part to his players rather than his schemes. Those same schemes were a disaster at Purdue.
Agreed. But you do know he was Odom’s DC, right? He might view him as an asset, believe it or not.
Odom might see Walters as an asset in the sense that he's had success in the past and might very well be successful in the future, sure.
But, an asset in the context of Odom's first staff at Purdue? That's very hard to believe.
I saw that he was and am hoping Odom is wise enough to look elsewhere.
Is there any precedent for a fired coach to come back to the team immediately after being fired and to take a coordinator position. Like literally any? I've seen coaches get forced at out as coach and "promoted" to athletics director or whatever. But given how catastrophically bad we were on both sides of the football, why would you keep the guy who orchestrated that and allow him to run one half of what he did badly?
Odom is not hiring Walters. Let's get that out of our heads right now. I don't even know why this is a topic. Okay, I do know why, but it shouldn't be. I hope Walters gets a nice new job as the CBs coach at Colorado State or somewhere out west.
We should all be so lucky for that kind of fresh State. Colorado State has a great campus and wonderful community. Lots of good beer. Fort Collins isn't the cheapest town, but I'm sure Walters and his $9,340,000 can afford it.
The current state of the collective needs to be addressed as soon as possible so that good portal players can be acquired!!
Wouldn't that fracture the locker room with any current players who Walters recruited? Pass time for a clean slate
I would hope to some degree this was discussed during the interview process and Odom believed he could work with what was being laid out. Odom is not afraid to get after it for NIL $$$. He rode a bull at UNLV to raise money for their program.
That is just proof that it wasnt just Walters defense that sucked, his offense also sucked just as bad.
I've seen a couple articles trying to link Marion to the Florida State OC job, but they must be old since FSU hired Gus Malzhan already to that position. The following article seems to say that UNLV may be thinking about promoting Marion. Flies in the face of what the AD said yesterday about wanting someone with head coaching experience. But these things are certainly fluid.
OC Brennan Marion has a bunch of YouTube videos out there explaining his offense and boy oh boy the more I watch the more I want this guy at Purdue running the offense!!
He’s an innovator. He doesn’t need to go somewhere with discount store player acquisition funds.
Oh, this Barry Odom?
Making Tario fuller and Gregory Phillips looks good? Woof
If you're looking at the same thing I'm looking at, it's a designer company that he must have some piece of.
Checked out the OK State forum and it sounds like they tracked a flight from LV to Stillwater Monday afternoon. It was supposedly the same plane that flew their new DC in from Louisiana. It could be that he’s just doing his due diligence and interviewing for the position. He’s on the short list for several schools needing an OC so I’ll remain hopeful we have a chance til he puts ink on paper somewhere else.
That's Wikipedia, you can't trust that, part of the reason the site has become a bit of a joke.
Yeah that isn't close to a credible source. "Someone" should go edit it and change it to Purdue
If he goes to Oklahoma state I don’t get it. I thought being in the big ten alone meant you won all of these battles
