#Mizzou adds former Florida O-line coach to Odom’s staff

December 15, 2017 By Bill Pollock

Barry Odom has added veteran offensive line coach Brad Davis to his coaching staff, as announced today.  Davis, who will coach the offensive line, comes to Mizzou after spending the 2017 season at Florida as o-line coach, and he brings with him 15 years of coaching experience, including the last nine seasons running the offensive line at a variety of stops, during which time he’s coached 13 linemen to all-conference honors.  Details of Davis’ contract will be released once fully executed, along with the completion of human resources procedures.

At Florida, the Gator offense was beset with injuries throughout the 2017 season, and Davis’ offensive line was extremely young, as there wasn’t a single senior in the two-deep by the end of the season.  Despite the challenges, Florida still managed to rush for at least 165 yards in six consecutive games at one stretch, which was the longest streak for the program since 2009.  In addition, Florida ran for more than 200 yards in three contests, while the Gator offense ranked second nationally in red zone scoring – converting at a 96.8 percent clip (30-of-31).

“I’m very pleased to have Brad and his family join our program,” said Odom.  “He’s a tremendous teacher and mentor, and he’s been lights out on the recruiting trail with his approach to building true relationships with kids.  Brad has experience in the SEC and he has worked hard to earn a great amount of respect among his peers.  I’m excited to have him with us, and I know he is going to do a great job helping us move forward offensively and continue building,” he said.

“I’m extremely excited to join Coach Odom and his staff at Mizzou and help build on the foundation these guys have already laid,” said Davis.  “In playing against these guys this year, I saw a team that played hard, played physical and that enjoyed playing together.  With Coach Odom, it was an easy sell, because of his passion for the University of Missouri.  Even from afar, that’s something I’ve always admired about him, not only his commitment to the school and to his kids, but really for advancing the program in any way possible.  For me, the opportunity to join his program and to continue the mission that he started there, I couldn’t be more excited to do that.  I can’t wait to get to work; I can’t wait to help these guys continue the path they’ve been on.  I’m excited to get there and to meet all the linemen, they’ve done a fantastic job this year, and I certainly want to continue the trend of keeping these guys going the right direction and getting better daily,” Davis said.
