He did a great job at Southern. Doubt they can replace him with anyone that can match his success.

Which celebrity football player with zero coaching experience do they hire to replace him?
I'm going with Randy Moss.

He did a great job with Southern and was a real likable person. Hope he does well at Norfolk State.

Probably just promote one of the assistants
He did a good job at Southern, he's been flirting for several years, surprised he stayed as long as he did

Especially considering there was no expectations since he was just an assistant promoted after Stump Mitchell's terrible tenure.

one of my staff played for Grambling, said he heard Odums was told earlier if he didnt win the SWAC he would be fired

Is Norfolk a better gig?

No. SU way more success historically but with NC A&T and FAMU leaving the MEAC the conference he's going into could be up for grabs.

Jabbar Juluke will be a likely candidate.

This was not the case. He was one of the 1st coaches to make use of the stadium fieldhouse, not to mention several improvements to the stadium that have been made during his tenure.
