kept coach Woz, but Dawson was terrific at West Virginia and whatever failings Dana Holgerson has had at WVA offense hasn't been one of them. I hate letting coach Meadows go...and texting him his walking papers is really classless and cowardly. He made measurable improvement the last two years so Hopson needs to be wise with the next hire. He won't find one better, hopefully he'll find a good one who'll work for peanuts.
Back to Dawson, he coached with Hal Mumme also, so I suspect we won't be going back to the Bower days completely. I hope not. The Kentucky fiasco was not Dawson's fault in my opinion. UK owes him 550,000
so coach Dawson is leaving a job that paid more than our head coach.
Still no word on coach Duggan, but with Hop bringing in his Alcorn guys it looks bleak for him. I hope coach Duggan sticks around. I still look for Randy Butler to get a job coaching the D-line.

Dawson and new Oline coach Wright were at Milsaps together I believe. Wright was Oline coach and Dawson was the OC. They won back to back league titles and played into the D3 playoffs.

I'd like to share this post that I posted on Facebook earlier today: Mobile AL

A cool thing happened. I took an uber the other night after a mardi gras parade from The Merry Widow music venue after hearing a good band. While fumbling for a tip I left the band's CD that I had just purchased. With the Uber app you can contact your driver and sure enough he had it and said he'd do anything I wanted to get it back and we talked for awhile and he told me he was uberring to raise money for his son's saxaphone. Apparently his son is very good and in the process of searching schools and scholarships for his jazz niche. Well to make a long story even longer, I mentioned the School of Music at Southern Miss. He said they have identified 28 colleges but it was not on their list. He did some research and contacted me and said he was blown away. So Miss offers a BA in Jazz Studies and none of the other 28 did......he stated that So Miss went from not even being on the list to their No.1 pick at the moment. Said he was going to mention me to the alumni office.....and he thinks me leaving the CD was a grand plan for them.

Southern Miss has offered Callaway (Jackson, MS) High defensive back Emanuel Dabney.

Not exactly a "what else ya got", type of move. Hopson looks to be going head to head with other state schools for top prospects.

Southern Miss has a deep, talented stable of running backs. From a recruiting standpoint they were in a position that they could be picky when it came to recruiting and signing ball carriers.

anybody have a good idea of who will be starters and key backups and the pitchingstaff. Thanks

Any update on the staff hirings?

Maybe Hop is really going to be a recruiting threat. The 2 sisters saying these things so that we get no credit even if successful. It was all because Ole Miss sent us the recruits. Narcissistic devils.
Good sign that they're worried.
