Coaching changes by Hopson

[gregodjakjian]

Southern Miss: Sources tell FootballScoop that Jay Hopson has informed Jon Williams (assistant head coach / player personnel), Justin Roberts (defensive line) and Dayne Brown (director of recruiting / player development) that they will not be retained. Additional meetings with coaches are ongoing. Tough spot for everyone involved.

Also:
Southern Miss: Although at this time we are told it is not a done deal, sources tell FootballScoop there is strong possibility Jay Hopson brings Prairie View head coach Willie Simmons to Southern Miss. Simmons served as offensive coordinator for three seasons at Alcorn prior to taking over as head coach at Prairie View following the 2014 season. Hopson is currently meeting with the existing staff members at Southern Miss. Sources tell FootballScoop several staff members are not being retained. Chris Hudgison reports that Alcorn defensive coordinator Tony Pecoraro will join Hopson at USM. We have heard the same; but are not sure what role Tony will have at this time. Will update…

Willie Simmons has announced he will not accept the job at Southern Miss. Even though he declined the job at Southern Miss, after reading his open letter to Prairie View University he sound like he has a lot of class and I wish him well.
