Missouri's players are really, really excited about their new coach.
Missouri’s coaching search to replace Gary Pinkel ended with a familiar face. Defensive coordinator and former player Barry Odom was hired as Pinkel’s replacement on Thursday night. Odom is considered one of the rising stars in the assistant ranks and should be a good hire for athletic director Mack Rhoades.
And in a short video released by the school on Thursday night, it’s safe to say Missouri’s players are really excited about Odom’s promotion.
Check out the reaction by Missouri’s team when it learns who the new coach is:
