December 8, 2024College Football

Purdue is targeting Barry Odom to be its next head football coach, a person with direct knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports on Sunday.

The deal is not finalized, but the parties are working toward an agreement, the person said.

Odom is 44-33 in six seasons as a head coach, including four at Missouri and the past two at UNLV. He led the Rebels to the Mountain West Conference championship game, where they lost to Boise State on Friday. Had UNLV won, it would have been in the running to reach the College Football Playoff.

This story will be updated.
