New Purdue football coach Barry Odom met with his players for the first time on Monday. The Boilermakers shared a clip from that interaction.
A day after being named the next coach at Purdue, Barry Odom stopped by campus and had his first interaction with current members of the roster. The Boilermakers' social media team shared a short clip of that interaction on Monday.
In the short clips posted on social media, Odom talked about building a winning culture and putting Purdue back on the college football map."We've got to go to work," Odom said. "I look around the building — it's the first time I've ever been in it — but there's everything here that is built for a successful program and a successful team. And it wasn't that long ago that Purdue was competing and winning championships.
Odom is coming off a 10-3 season at UNLV, leading the Rebels to the Mountain West Championship Game for a second consecutive season. He's hoping to produce similar results in West Lafayette, though it won't be easy.
