They went 7-5 this year, which is Bower's 14th straight winning season and received an invitation to the Papajohns.com Bowl Saturday...
im from hattiesburg, and i cant explain this
they have winning seasons every year, and if they played the likes of Ole Miss or State they would beat them. Bower has even now put together some SOLID recruiting kids given he has to market a small program to kids who will be getting offers from two in-state SEC schools.
My mom called me and said that the AD Giannini had Bower in today for their weekly Monday morning meeting and said that he "wanted his resignation or he was fired"
They seemed to want more from that program than winning seasons. True, they never did run the table and make noise, such as TCU had done, but they were still a legitimate CUSA team every year.

They've looked very mediocre the last few years and have not performed up to expectations. However, I think Bower has done more with less than anyone in college football over the years and he deserved a better fate. As stated above, I don't know who USM thinks they can hire that's better than Bower for the money they can pay. Maybe things had gotten a little complacent there, but they had a good coach who wanted to be there. That's pretty uncommon these days.

He gets the rejects that cant get in the other schools
C-USA takes partial qualifiers, SEC does not. He is also a BIG prick! Maybe he's going to Ar-Kansas.
