We are still in it, but the thread is getting thin.

Beating ULM will go a long way toward continuing our pursuit of a bowl. Of the games we have left, we can only lose two. I am thinking JMU and Texas State. The rest are winnable. Last year, we didn't reach our peak until the last of the season. ULM is coming off the biggest win in years, and USM at +6 is a betting dream. I would encourage USM folks in Vicksburg, Natchez, South Delta, and Jackson to make that easy trip to Monroe. Please support the EAGLES! A win is most likely. And please stop talking about firing the coach.

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.
