Who will be the one to bring the next level of success to Southern Miss?
The infamous question that hovered around Hattiesburg, MS, after former head coach Todd Monken left the Golden Eagles for a NFL position with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
After a 9-5 season and bowl appearance, many Golden Eagles were aghast to hear about the departure of Monken. Monken’s success is not a small aspect to overlook. In a season alone, the Golden Eagles went from 3-9 in 2014 to 9-5 in 2015.
The turnaround season brought back hope to Golden Eagle fans as Southern Miss had not had the best off luck in years prior.
