14. Barry Odom, Missouri

The only reason Odom is behind Mason is because he’s only been a head coach for one season. After serving as Missouri’s defensive coordinator for just one season, he was named head coach in 2016.

Gary Pinkle had a lot of success in his 15 seasons at Missouri, but things started going down hill in his final season. Things continued going down hill in Odom’s first year, as the Tigers went 4-8, the worst record in the SEC.

Odom is one of two SEC coaches coaching at his alma mater, along with Kirby Smart. And while he brings a defensive mindset to Columbia, Missouri had the top offense in the SEC last season.
