The points I agree with:
• "Odom is only 17-and-18 as a head coach."
• "He has never finished above .500 in conference play and has been out of contention for a division title by the time any of his teams started playing well."
• "Midway through last year, [...] the Tigers were 1-5, without a win over an FBS opponent [...] then had his team no-show in a Texas Bowl loss and turned the heat on himself right back up."
• "After a 3-0 start this season, Odom's Tigers lost three straight games and four out of five."
• "The Tigers immediately went out and lost a game in brutal fashion to Kentucky and Odom was front and center among those deserving blame for it."
• "Florida [...] was his first win over a ranked team in 8 tries."
• "Many will argue that Odom doesn't deserve to be higher on the list. That the other SEC coaches have done more."

The points I disagree with:
• "I'm not arguing that he deserves an extension and a raise based on this year's record. I'm not arguing it based on next year's record. In fact, I'm saying Barry Odom should get a raise and an extension regardless of what the record is on the field and what the next two weeks may bring."
• "I don't know if Barry Odom is the long-term answer for Missouri football. I just know it's time for Missouri to act like it thinks he's the long-term answer."
• "Invest in the future. If a tough decision has to be made in a couple of years, make it. [...] If you're wrong, it will cost you a few million to correct the mistake. But being wrong is better than not making [the wrong] decision."
• "But [Mizzou] added not a penny to [Odom's] $2.35 million salary and did not increase what it would cost Missouri to buy him out ($450,000 per year on the contract)." (This is false... it increased the the buyout by nearly a million dollars (2 years x $450,000))
