New Coach?

Larry Fedora? From So.Miss currently (we can't get enough of Hattiesburg!!) and rumor has it he will be with Joel at the hoops game tonight. Sounds like he met with his AD this morning and is on his way here now...



Once again, this could be another crazy Twitter rumor...but feels valid. He hasn't been mentioned a lot, but he's an offensive guru who coached at FLA, OKST as OC and has set records at So. Miss for offense. He's a great recruiter as a head coach at a non-BCS school he has pulled in some star talent. He has ties in Texas where he was a HS head coach for a while and he has ties to the south where he has coached throughout his college career. He runs a spread offense type of scheme, which might be great for our guy MarQueis, and he's only 48.

First impression, not a homerun by any means, but a guy who can coach and seems to be in high demand. Rumored to have turned down OC jobs at some very big-time programs before taking on the SOMISS job 3 years ago. Has won at SOMISS, 3 straight bowl games, good recruiter, lots of ties to good programs/coaches and good recruiting areas. This might be a nice fit...

Not saying he's THE guy, but looks like he might have his foot in the door and be the leader in the clubhouse at this point.

Stay Tuned.
