HATTIESBURG — New Southern Miss offensive line coach and offensive coordinator Sam Gregg used his first breath in his first meeting to tell his linemen they didn’t give enough effort last season.
"You may think you play hard, but you don't, and that's got to change," USM coach Will Hall remembered Gregg explaining.
Brought in from Liberty in early December to replace former offensive line coach Jeremy Darveau – who departed after a single season – it became Gregg's job to change that.
So far, the returns have been positive.
Hall indicated last week that he's pleased with the progress the Golden Eagles' offensive line has made with its tenacity throughout the summer.
