Purdue Hires Barry Odom from UNLV, Who Led Rebels to 19-8 Record
Dec 8, 2024, 06:30 PM
Purdue University has officially named Barry Odom as its new head football coach, following his successful tenure at UNLV where he led the team to a 19-8 record over two seasons, including two appearances in the Mountain West championship game and the Rebels' first 10-win season in 40 years. Odom, who previously coached at Missouri with a 25-25 record, has agreed to a deal that will see him move to West Lafayette immediately. His departure from UNLV leaves the Rebels with an opening to fill, as Odom has expressed his commitment to building a lasting football program at Purdue, emphasizing character, intensity, and a winning attitude. Purdue is set to introduce Odom at a welcome event on Tuesday morning at Mackey Arena. UNLV is due a $3 million buyout, and Odom will likely receive a significant raise from his previous $2 million per year salary at UNLV, considering Purdue's last coach was paid double that amount.
