2020 continues to be a rocky year for Southern Miss football. After three games as Interim Head Coach, Scotty Walden has left Southern Miss to become the Head Coach at Tennessee’s Austin Peay State University.
After former Head Coach Jay Hopson resigned one game into the season, Southern Miss named Walden Interim Head coach. Walden served in the position for a little less than two months, officially starting Sep. 7. It appears Walden was in talks for other jobs, however, as Austin Peay announced that Walden will take over as head coach for its program this week.
