Southern football coach Dawson Odums’ agent said Thursday morning that his client has agreed to a new contract with the university.

The agreement was hammered out with Jaguars athletic director William Broussard in less than 48 hours after an original offer was made. Odums, who led Southern to its first Southwestern Athletic Conference championship in 10 years this past season, had one year left on his contract.

Terms of the agreement were not immediately known and the contract is subject to approval by the SU System Board of Supervisors, which next meets in January.

I don't know how you read stuff but keeping the same coach and staff=continuity within their(SU's) program. 2014 will tell a lot of things though. If they like it, i love it.:tup:

So u make a change after the dude wins 8 games....?.........Not 2 or 3 but 8 ......I guess the next coach will have to win 9 or more to be accounted for....

It depends on who the next coach is. I can't wait to see who they will hire while they are so much worried 'bout the next.

The $175 is fine (im sure there is also an incentives package). However, a three year extension is a bit much. Now you all have this guy for FOUR years!

4 years good...Gives him a full cycle to develop his class, Those who come in as FR will be SR and we can see and evaluate "HIS" players in that cycle...

IMO, three years is a bit much too, but I don't think any school will get a halfway decent coach to sign a contract with a buyout clause in favor of the school for only $50k. I'm sure that clause would be taken out or the coach will ask for his upfront with an extremely high base salary at $300k to $350k per year.

Id put him on a year to year. In fact, I'd dig up the old reserve clause they used in baseball back in the day. Every year I'd have the option of keeping him or letting him go. Gotta keep guys like Odoms on a short leash. Those big boys have a tendency to get lazy.
