Meh..... I dont spend a lot of time trying to determine if a dude is a DE vs an OLB/Jack vs a safety. I dont really care about their numbers/ positions though obviously most teams (not UF unfortunately) you can tell a DE from a safety. I mostly count numbers and determine first level second level, or safeties. Im just not that into it. Probably shouldnt waste as much time as I do.

That being said iso/lead, toss and power are like the first two plays you learn in midget league, right?

Ur a riot. I wasn't confused about whether the dude was a safety or LB. Like Swonk said that wasn't the point. The point was who was assigned to block them. :facepalm:

How’d that talent help Vandy when they got smoked by perennial loser UNLV at home? How come Odom couldn’t mimic UNLV’s success?

No, it doesn’t. But losing to UNLV is indicative to program wide disarray - one of the worst teams in America every year. That’s not a one off upset. The fact that Mizzou can’t capitalized on a team that poor says something.

I’m not drawing that comparison. Like I stated to Donk - I believe his previous jobs got him this one. What he does here matters way more as MSU and UF are not peer programs - the advantages here are much greater as are the expectations. Thus far, he hasn’t even come close to a USA or UNLV type loss. Until he does, its invalid. On the other hand, Wyoming and Vandy are current losses at the same school for Odom. If Mullen continues to lose to Mizzou and Odom, I’ll concede your point. I’m guessing this year starts a new trend though.

I don’t completely discount his MSU time but it gets less important with every passing game. Kind of like where you went to school when applying for jobs. Your school, program, and GPA are probably most important at the first job. Less so after 5 years of experience when applying for the next. At that second job after another 5 years and you’re looking for a promotion, that first job is just a blip on the radar.

Think about James Franklin: he did some nice things at Vandy but lost some head scratchers and never competed for any titles. You judge him based on that or what he’s doing at PSU? I’m guessing you lean heavily towards the latter.

Barry Odom is at Mizzou. Does more with less type of guy. Like the inverse of Kirby Smart. I agree with @ltraz (I think): it would be interesting to see what he could do with higher caliber talent.
I am sure it would be interesting, so he should do the same thing we expect CDM to do: go out and get it. It was hard for me to grasp that we were talking about a coach whose team just lost to the team that just lost to UNLV.

My problem is I read first grade hieroglyphics for years so my stream of words is clear to me

Reminds me of coming home everyday after work, and listening to my wife relay her day with pre-schoolers...in pre-school talk. o_O
