Coach Odom

“ Let's talk real life and where we are at," Odom said Saturday. "I want to get one thing real straight: I'm going to win here. That's going to happen. We will win. This is a turnaround. Any way you slice it or dice it or want to look at it, this is a turnaround process. And unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, I'm built for this because I've been in a whole heckuva lot of them my entire life.”

“ It's a turnaround, and I don't like it," he said. "I want to win right now. But that's not the hand I'm given. We are doing a lot of really good things in this program. Our kids are working extremely hard. We are not winning games yet. But we will. I'm the man to go get it done with this staff, with this team, with this program. There's not anybody left standing after 2015. Alright? I am. And I know what it takes.”


“ I've seen a damn dark day," said Odom, who at times slammed his hand on the podium. "July 12, 2005. OK? Aaron O'Neal. That's a dark day. This ain't dark days. This is when the going gets tough, you build together, you fight together, and you go find a way to get it done. And that's where we are at. It's part of a turnaround process that is not going to be easy! Our team knows that. I know that. Our program knows that.”
