MOBILE, Ala. – University of South Alabama assistant football coach Harland Bower sat down with USAJaguars.com to answer five questions entering his first season as a member of the Jaguar staff.
After earning four letters in football at Georgia Southern, where he was credited with a total of 56 stops on the defensive line, Bower received his bachelor's degree from the school in 2009. He served one-year stints at Georgia Military College, Murray State, Rutgers and Troy before accepting his first full-time position at Central Arkansas in 2014. After two seasons on the Bears' staff — where he worked for first-year Jaguar head coach Steve Campbell — Bower was a graduate assistant coach at Notre Dame the last two years, including helping the Fighting Irish end up 11th in the final national rankings this fall with a 10-3 mark following a victory over LSU in the Citrus Bowl.
