I like Odom, but holy **** did they walk him into an unwinnable situation.
I think the pressure to turn the football program around, and somewhat fast, is very high. After last fall, they need some success from a major program to bring some excitement and booster money back in.
Not a ****ing chance the basketball program will be anything over a wet fart for at least 5 years, once Afkimistan is finally liberated. The pressure will be squarely on the football program.
Always thought Odom would have been best to simmer at the top of the Memphis program for awhile, where he could be easily raided if their gamble on an outsider failed. I do think he will be successful eventually, but it may not be here.
