IF Spurrier were to come to LSU, would Tyrone Nix follow him here? Or with the abundance of other jobs opening up would he be in line to get a head coaching gig? Thoughts?

I think Tyrone Nix is at the top of the USM heading coaching list, considering he played there.

Right on. Actually USM locked up Nix before they fired Bower. Expect an announcement any day.

I was thinking SC might promote him to HC, but starting off at USM might be better for him. Still can't believe they fired Bower.

Me neither, but I know the AD's daughter and talked to her Monday. She said basically that they felt like the program was stagnating without winning the conference in a while and repeatedly going to $hitty bowls. They don't have any delsuions about NC's but they believe some fresh blood will get them back to the top of CUSA and hopefully put asses in the seats - the last home game had about 16k.

Bower was going through a rough time with his family and dealing with what happened to his daughter.

His daughter died 10 years ago.






ETA: tiger4life - he had another daughter that was killed in a car accident in 97, her senior year of high school.

It was time for some fresh blood at USM. Bower had a string of winning seasons going back into the early nineties or something like that, but going 7-6 or 7-5 in the Conference USA now isn't that impressive.

You sure you want nix as a DC? I know its south carolina's defense but his defense gave up 450 rushing yards to arkansas.

Bower has another daughter named Stephanie. She is probably about 22-23. She's hot. She was a USM cheerleader.
