I really like him and am surprised he hasn't gotten a HC job yet.

One guy that noone has mentioned, but was mentioned in regards to the Southern Miss. opening is Chris Hatcher. I live in Valdosta, GA where Chris got his start under Hal Mumme as a QB playing for VSU. He won the Harlon Hill trophy for D-II (Heisman for D-II) his senior year. He then coached under Mumme as his OC at Kentucky before Mumme got stupid with the NCAA. Hatcher then came back to VSU and did this:

Hatcher was 76-12 at Valdosta State, winning the Division II national championship in 2004

This year at Georgia Southern he went 7-4 beating App. St., who beat Michigan, while GA southern was only 3-8 the previous year. He runs a wide open offense passing the ball 60% and running 40% and even when he runs it's with 3 wide receivers to disguise the pass.

Hatcher will be a big time D-1 coach in the near future. He also is rumored to be in the running for the GA Tech job
