From the Student Printz " Southern Miss Head Football Coach Ready to Prove Doubters Wrong"

Does anyone know anything about this new QB on the Southern Miss roster?

I found this, but not being a football coach and the scenario in the video being far from an actual game I am not sure it tells me much.

Coach Hall Rumor....Nothing Official

I am hearing that he is out and Stringer will be named Interim HC. I mentioned in the game thread yesterday about this.

After this, I wouldn't be surprised if we see an Interim HC Monday. Hearing some chatter....

I am not saying this is 100% but I am also very careful when I post about this stuff too.

Whoever the new coach chosen for the 2025 season will have a pretty good situation to walk into considering the lack of success. This is a talented roster. Being able to come in a recruit current players will be a must. I would also prefer someone with no real ties to USM. They need to think out of the box on this one.

What are your top 3 criteria for new USM FB HC?

Unless a miracle happens, USM is going to be searching for a new HC at season's end. Here are my top 3 criteria for a new HC:

1. No ties to the university. We have been down the good old boy hiring road before. The last 2 most successful HC were Fedora and Monken. Neither with ties to the school.

2. Would be better to have an offensive minded coach. The former OC has usually been the beat hires (yes Hall was on OC, but he was the only former OC who cane here and had zero success).

3. Needs to be a disciplinarian. Hall tried too much to be thier friend at times. Hard to discipline a player when he is treated as a friend. If the new HC needs to clean house, so be it.

Would love to know your thoughts?

Something to watch for this next week....

First, I hope you all have a great weekend. Perhaps a weekend off isn't so bad right now.

If you want to see where the mind of this USM team is, start watching the transfer portal and opt-outs. 4 games have been played so far. I don't think it will happen, but the opportunities is there.

They have for to get a handle on the portal and especially multiple transfers. UNLV just had a QB (FCS QB Transfer who says he was told he had 100,000 dollar NIL package at a G5) opt-out because he wanted more NIL money (come to find out he had no such deal and the speculationis other schools contacted him after their 3-0 start wanting him next season.). State just had leading receiver opt-out and use his redshirt.

This isn't college football anymore, this is a season of The Sopranos mixed with Ballers in the setting of college football. Until they get some guts and start making rules the only hope may be for Congress to step in and I don't want politics in my sports.

September 25 Injury Report

Hey guys,
I was at football practice this morning for a brief bit before walking over to basketball practice. I'll have a story on basketball, but I still wanted to post some important football news.

John White was not at practice this morning, presumingly injured. Kyle McCormick went with the twos and Tate Rodemaker with the ones. Rodemaker's ankle seemed to be really bothering him, and it was very hard for him to run and scramble. I'd say the QB position is wide open heading into next Saturday.

Hall and the fig tree.

I have sharpened my axe but will not use it yet. I want to see one more game. I will swing it after the next game if Hall does not stay on Bignell's ass. If he allows the defense to follow the same pattern displayed against Jax, the axe will be put in motion. There was no excuse for the defense's lack of aggressiveness and lifelessness. Hall must advise Bignell that anything less than 100% will cost him his job: buddy or no Buddy.

The next game will be the true must-win. A drastic improvement in the defense and a healthy quarterback may result in a six-win season. To a lesser degree the same can be said for the OC.
