Report: Purdue close to signing UNLV’s Barry Odom as coach
Purdue is close to hiring UNLV head coach Barry Odom to the same position, Yahoo Sports reported on Sunday morning.
Odom has posted a 19-8 record in two seasons with the Rebels. He has guided the team to consecutive Mountain West championship game appearances, including a 21-7 loss to Boise State on Friday.
Odom also guided Missouri to a 25-25 mark over four seasons (2016-19).
He effectively replaces Ryan Walters, who went 5-19 over two seasons before being fired on Dec. 1. The Boilermakers dropped 11 straight games since they opened the season with a 49-0 victory over Indiana State on Aug. 31.
