Will Hall is a good coach despite his having played/coached at rivals to one of my alma maters.

I could be mistaken, but I seem to remember Southern Miss hit a patch with an administration that pretty much tried to starve and kill off athletics, or at least football.

As the Cajuns and Tulane has found, that can take a decade or more to recover from depending on how long such a mentality is allowed to last.
