that Sterk gave.

Sterk offered this response when asked by PowerMizzou.com for a statement about Odom’s future beyond this season:
“Coach Odom, his staff and student-athletes have worked incredibly hard since beginning their journey together back in January, and I know they are disappointed in their on-field performance over the last four games after a 5-1 start vaulted Mizzou into the AP Top 25.
"It is important to note that in the Associated Press Poll era, only two Mizzou coaches, Dan Devine and Warren Powers, have won more games in their first four seasons in Columbia than Coach Odom. He has not allowed the still unknown outcome of Mizzou’s NCAA appeal or key injuries stop him, the staff or players from continuing to build a positive locker room culture within our program, which includes record-setting academic success the past two semesters, and I remain supportive of his efforts.
I look forward to the Tigers becoming bowl-eligible for the third-straight year, something Mizzou hasn’t accomplished in nearly a decade, and sending our 18 seniors out on a high note in our final two regular season games.”
Obviously, that's not exactly an answer. Staying or going? It’s become an annual dance with Odom and Tiger fans, thought it admittedly has taken place earlier in the calendar before a November rescue the last couple of years. There are two more games to play. Very shortly after that, Sterk’s decision will be known to all. If there are fans who have given up on the season with a sixth of it left to go, the players insist they can’t and won’t do the same.

You must have hallucinated where he said "the program is in very good hands"
Notice Sterk went out of his way not to say Odom would be back.
