Southern Miss fired coach Will Hall on Sunday after 3 1/2 seasons on the job. After a 3-9 season in 2023, Hall's Golden Eagles were off to a 1-6 start (0-3 Sun Belt) this year when the athletics department pulled the plug. "We are grateful to Will and his family for their dedication to Southern Miss over the past four years," athletic director Jeremy McClain said in a statement. "Will poured his heart and soul into this program and into shaping these young men. Unfortunately, the results on the field didn't align with our shared goals and expectations." Reed Stringer, the football program's assistant head coach and general manager, will take over as interim head coach for the remainder of the season.
