There is no way to try and sugarcoat it, this season was not what the Southern Miss faithful thought it should have been headed into the 2019 football season. Jay Hopson, as the head coach at Southern Miss, has compiled a 28-22 record in 4 seasons. Just looking at this, on the surface, one might surmise that the Golden Eagle football program is stable and moving in a positive direction. To dig deeper, another conclusion is obvious to some. Is this football program on the upswing? Is this football program just treading water? Is the bottom about to drop out? These are questions that must be answered before Spring Practice 2020 starts.
