Tusculum College has hired former Jacksonville University assistant Jerry Odom as its football coach.
Odom spent the last six years as an associate head coach at Jacksonville. Odom helped run the defense of a Jacksonville program that went 47-19 during his six seasons.
JU coach Kerwin Bell and Odom were not retained after the 2015 season. The Dolphins last week hired Ian Shields from Lenoir-Rhyne College as their new football coach.
