Ross Cameron-Imagn Images Purdue is close to hiring UNLV head coach Barry Odom to the same position, Yahoo Sports reported on Sunday morning.
Odom has posted a 19-8 record in two seasons with the Rebels. He has guided the team to consecutive Mountain West championship game appearances, including a 21-7 loss to Boise State on Friday.
Odom also guided Missouri to a 25-25 mark over four seasons (2016-19).
He effectively replaces Ryan Walters, who went 5-19 over two seasons before being fired on Dec. 1. The Boilermakers dropped 11 straight games since they opened the season with a 49-0 victory over Indiana State on Aug. 31.
