Evidently, keeping most of the coaches that were on staff as we were told was not true. If Pollard and others are interviewing for other jobs, that means JH has already told them that their services are not needed and it probably explains the reason recruits are bailing on us. JH is probably bringing his Alcorn staff with him which I hope is not a big mistake. I hope the next four years is worth the low price tag for the coach that we got when we could have gotten better. After seeing his contract, if that is what we offered the others, no wonder they turned us down, I would have done the same. This is how we got EJ and got in the mess we got in except we paid a lot more . Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying JH is not a good coach, but we didn't get the best that we could have gotten and it could it up hurting up not only in wins and losses but mainly in recruiting. We were making so much progress I would hate to see us backslide now. I know what some of you are going to say, give the man a chance, but four years is that much time we didn't have to waste at this juncture of our program. We should have gone with and up and coming young coach in the mold of TM,and LF and kept the program on track. To listen to BM, talk about how Southern Miss has proud traditions and how he was going to do a national search and how people would want to come here and coach just makes me ill and what he offered.I know we aren't rich, but that is down right insulting and is why the schools up north make so much fun of us and never take us serious. Heck, Freeze, is making nine times more than JH and that is without any bonuses. I will support JH because he is our coach, he like EJ, has been left a full stock pantry, what he does with it, is up to him. I wish him all the success because I don't want another debacle like before because it would destroy Southern Miss to the core.
