This time it is officially done. I texted a buddy who is friends with Ellis & asked if he was gonna be part of that staff. He said, they can't pay me enough (told you USM was some cheap bastards). Lol

I just posted same thought in the AU recruiting thread. he's looking for a job now. He'll cost a lot less than $1.3m per yr too.

That is, of course, if Chiz doesnt want to go NFL route.

As of now, I would think he's our #1 OC on the board. Chizik interviewed him last off-season when he thought Gus Malzahn would be leaving, and he knew no matter what, Malzahn wouldn't be there much longer.

He is 59 and this could be why Southern Miss hired him. They wanted someone with stability who wasn't looking to move up like Fedora did.


With a move like this, why was Bower even fired?

Good question. I'm sure Richard Gianini could answer this.

This move will help USM get Anthony Alford. Word is they are going to hire Petal's High School coach and he is supposed to bring Alford with him.

I wonder who Petal will hire to replace Buckley? That's a really good job at Petal and they have the best facilities in the state.
