UMBC’s darling run in the NCAA Tournament may be over, but head coach Ryan Odom is still in for a few fun weeks.

After leading his Retrievers to the first-ever upset of a No. 1 seed in the Round of 64, Odom is expected to field offers from Power 5 teams looking to make a splash here with a young coach.

However, UMBC athletic director Tim Hall told ESPN.com his program plans to “do everything in our power to incentivize him to stay here."

"We need to do within our realm what we can," Hall said Sunday. "We obviously can't do what the Power 5 schools can do, or anything near that. I think at some point Ryan wants to do it on a bigger stage. I'm just hoping it's down the road instead of now."

Odom signed a seven-year deal with UMBC two seasons ago, and the university recently opened a new $90 million arena. But major programs like Pittsburgh and UConn (or even smaller Group of Five jobs like Charlotte or East Carolina) are well-equipped to best Odom’s current base salary of $230,000 per year.

Odom, after losing to Kansas State on Sunday, addressed the talk of himself as a hot candidate.

"I haven't even thought about it right now," Odom said. "I'm their coach. I'm here. I'm sure they'd like me to be here and I want to still be here."
