HATTIESBURG - When Arizona State lured Chip Lindsey away from Southern Miss, Todd Monken's search for a new offensive coordinator didn't take long.
And he didn't have to look far to find a replacement. The Golden Eagle head coach told the Hattiesburg American late Thursday he promoted John Wozniak, previously the special teams coordinator and wide receivers coach, on a permanent basis.
Wozniak has served as an assistant under Monken since the third-year head coach arrived at Southern Miss in January 2013.
"I always thought John would do a great job as the coordinator," Monken told the Hattiesburg American.
