UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI

Southern Miss Director of Athletics Bill McGillis issued the following statement regarding the resignation of football coach Todd Monken and the search for his replacement. “”Naturally I am disappointed for the University as well as the program and our players. It is difficult news, but at the same time I am very happy for Coach Monken and for Terri and Travis,” said McGillis. “Coach did an incredible job here the last three years rebuilding our program and he is a special coach and a special leader. With respect to the next head coach, we will begin that search immediately. This is an outstanding opportunity and the position will be highly sought after. There is a foundation in place to win a championship in 2016 and beyond, and people recognize that. I expect to have a new head coach in place before next weekend. We’re ready to go.” –Read More
