Barry Odom is one of college football’s most well-known defensive coordinators. The former Missouri defensive standout and head coach is now Arkansas’ defensive coordinator.

However he may be interested in becoming a head coach again. According to Dean Blevins, the sports director for OKC-KWTV, Odom interviewed for the Tulsa head coaching job.

“I’ve learned Barry Odom interviewed Wednesday via zoom for the @TulsaFootball head coaching job w AD Rick Dickson. And is supported by Okla Coaches Assoc. Odom’s extensive background would make him a terrific hire,” Blevins tweeted.

Before attending Missouri, Odom starred at Ada High School in Oklahoma. Odom racked up an impressive 362 tackles with Missouri from 1996-1999.

Odom really came into his own coaching the defense at Memphis before leaving to coordinate Missouri’s defense in 2015. The Tigers hired Odom as their head coach to succeed Gary Pinkel, and he remained in Columbia from 2016-2019, posting a combined record of 25-25.

After getting fired at the conclusion of the 2019 regular season, Odom became Sam Pittman’s defensive coordinator at Arkansas in 2020.
