Just another name in the pile and now they have Harsin's predecessor at Boise State (Petersen) to deliver the sales pitch to him. Greeeaaaat.

****Official 2019 Missouri Tigers Football Thread****
Jimmy Lake has already been named the new permanent HC there. Harsin not an option at Mizzou, though. He wants a PAC job and will probably wait for one.
I don’t get the sense Sterk has an actual plan, guys, from what I’m hearing. This is headed into “Frank Haith?” Territory, I fear. Unless people are clamoring for Willie Fritz or Troy Calhoun or McElwain or Blake Anderson. There are a few names on there that could be good, but no one that achieves what Sterk said he was aiming to achieve.

So Mizzou really did fire Odom just because he said some mean stuff after Sterk wouldn't give him a vote of confidence and they got butthurt. Can we get rid of Sterk too?

That seems to me like as good an explanation as any. I think Sterk is doing a lot of things, but I think it’s all reactive and he’s not sure where he’s going to end up.

So was the plan to keep Odom around until he ran his mouth? Because it seems like that's the case given the lack of any plan whatsoever. Holy shitballs, there are some SERIOUS implications of incompetence at Mizzou. Hopefully they get lucky.

My first thought was that he did it so quickly that he had a deal in place and it was all a matter of timing. Now I realize the dude couldn't hold his wad, fired his coach, had no idea what kind of interest around the profession there actually IS in this job and now realizes that it's tepid at best. He's gone in 24 months. Sterk Haith'd the shit out of this hire.

Odom has a hand in this too, and not only for the piss poor product he put on the field.

That said...may I ask what difference a 'vote of confidence' truly makes? If Sterk really gave a shit, he could've made some non-committal response rather than tell Odom to **** himself. And if he really told Odom that he's not going to back him, don't you think the writing was on the wall either way? Odom's not wrong - lame duck status in CFB is as bad as being fired. It's really just a slow march down death row at that point. Recruiting falls to hell, enthusiasm craters. If there was any chance that Sterk was going to keep Odom, he really did have to give that 'vote of confidence' even if it didn't mean anything. And it NEVER means anything. Yeah, Odom isn't necessarily blameless either, but that doesn't mean that Sterk's actions haven't put this program in a really damn tough spot. I do like the point that Duncan made, though - Heupel's role in this is forgotten. The QB room is the cause of Odom's demise, IMO. He's here for another couple of years if they have ANYTHING in the pipe that could've stepped in after Lock and not made us scrap the entire offense and turn it into something that Dooley and crew clearly weren't up for. But Heupel's performance there yieled us Taylor Powell and a dude who made a greater impact at WR than at QB (Micah Wilson). You can trace a lot back to Heupel's seeming awareness that he'd be long gone by the time Lock needed to be replaced so he just mailed that task in.
