BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- Southern coach Dawson Odums isn’t going to Bethune-Cookman.The Wildcats received permission from the Jaguars on Friday morning to interview Odums, who has led Southern to the Southwestern Athletic Conference championship games in each of his two seasons as head coach.
But they apparently never met with Odums, who was defensive line coach at B-CU from 2005-07, before promoting assistant head coach Terry Sims early Monday afternoon. Sims replaced Brian Jenkins, who resigned last week to become head coach at Alabama State.
B-CU, which won a share of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference championship and was ranked No. 2 nationally this past season, also received permission to speak with Tennessee State coach Rob Reed, but he agreed to an extension Friday night.
The Wildcats were paying Jenkins $265,000 per year after he received a raise two years ago when he was a finalist for the Southern job before the Jaguars promoted Odums from interim coach to head coach.
