I still think Odom will work out OK, but that's coincidence more than anything, IMO.

When I was house shopping last spring, the house next to him was for sale. Very nice home but oddly laid out so we didn't go that route.
Thank God....I'm not sure he'd be terribly fond of his new neighbor.
Like you said - the Odom hire is probably pure dumb luck and again, nothing you or I couldn't have pulled off. He just keeps falling back on his safety schools. There's no creativity, no risk. He's just going out there and taking whatever low hanging fruit is available.
It's just abysmal. You look at Alden's record and at least he was able to snag Pinkel and Snyder when they were big time gets. Hell, even Anderson was a nice hire given the state of the program. Alden, for everything he was awful at, made some very nice initial hires.
Rhoades, OTOH, whacking whatever jumps into his boat with an oar and calling it a day. He's been awful.
