re: Why in the world did Southern Miss fire Bower?????

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.
