[h=1]AP source: Southern Miss hires Monken as coach[/h]By DAVID BRANDT (AP Sports Writer) | The Associated Press – 1 hour 50 minutes ago

• Email

Southern Mississippi has hired Todd Monken as its next football coach, said a person familiar with the decision.
The person said that Monken will be introduced at a Tuesday afternoon news conference that the university has scheduled. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the university had not publically announced Monken's hiring.
Monken has spent the past two seasons as the offensive coordinator at Oklahoma State.
He will replace Ellis Johnson, who was fired after just one season in which the Golden Eagles finished with a 0-12 record.
Johnson - whose defensive-minded pedigree always seemed to be a poor fit with the Golden Eagles - is owed a $2.1 million buyout over the next three seasons.
It's the second time in five years that Southern Miss has turned to an Oklahoma State offensive coordinator to lead its program.

Texas co-offensive coordinator Bryan Harsin gets the Arkansas St. job.

Major Applewhite could be promoted to replace Harsin.

Texas is losing co-offensive coordinator Bryan Harsin to Ark. St., but many in Austin feel Major Applewhite is ready to step up

Kliff Kingsbury (former QB for Texas Tech and current Texas A&M OC) is the leading candidate for the Texas Tech job. I think that would be a great fit for them. They get an up-and-coming assistant, and they don't have worry about the loyalty issues that Tuberville had. This makes me feel really old because he is 7 years younger than me.

Kliff Kingsbury has emerged as the strong leading candidate at Texas Tech according to multiple sources

Looks like Kingsbury has gotten the Texas Tech job.

Good for him. Wonder how this affects A&M's offense next season.

All I know is the dude is 2 years older than me and in charge of a D-1 college football program.

Kingsbury to Tech is official. I think we (A&M) already have a replacement.

Yeah but his degree says "Texas Tech University." Yours says "University of Alabama." You win.

Without two first round OTs and I believe the C, the O line will struggle. At least I hope they are having trouble early!

Who?

I suspect that's a strong hire.

 

[GreatDanish]

I suspect that's a strong hire.

High risk, high reward. But they have to give him time. He is young and inexperienced, so they have to let him make mistakes early on, and stand by him.

 

[TideMan09]

I suspect that's a strong hire.

He's a lot better fit at TTech than Tubbs that's for sure..I think it's a great hire..

Bret Bielema hired Jim Chaney as OC. Chaney was at UT this past season. Very solid hire for Arky.

Also, Bruce Feldman reports that Gus Malzahn wants to get Dameyune Craig from FSU. No wonder he let go Trooper. Craig can do the same tricks without the reputation.

 

[Bazza]

Wow - this is like a game of chess now!

I can't help but wonder if the SEC's dominant season this year helped create so many coaching changes.

We are taking the bowl season by storm!

Let's hope the Bulldogs prevail over Northwestern so we can finish the season with a complete blowout over all the other conferences.

All other SEC teams I'm not worried about.

So much for a run-oriented offense...

 

[DocCrimson]

Kingsbury is definitely a smart hire, even if he fails. He'll come relatively cheaply, may never want to leave, has shown significant potential, and if he bombs, people will be far more forgiving of the AD because of his history as a player.
