I can neither confirm or deny that i will be the next coach at the University of Southern Mississippi.
Hey Mom.
Hey Mom.
At this point, with Arkansas, SMU, and USM unable to hire anyone, Tater Tot may get his pick of those jobs.
Well I was about to delete this thread myself as being announced maybe a little too prematurely. I was a bit surprised hearing it. Oh well, since so many replies already I guess the mods can delete if they feel the need.
His name is floating around Hattiesburg, along with about 70 other names as well. No joke, USM has interviewed 75 people, probably more by now.
That article says 75 people have expressed interest in the job, not that they're going to interview 75 people. Also, I don't think they got the memo about Jimbo and FSU.
If they did at least interview him, then I can confirm that this made the "Dwarf Coaches Association" very happy. It is nice to see them look at "minority" candidates. Oh, stop me before I hurt someone.
If any school even interviews him they can be classified as desperate. He is a short, fat, loser and if not for the Bowden name would be practicing law in some hick town in West Virginia.

uke:If this is true, its for only one reason. He wants the FSU head job, even though its promised to Jimbo.
The reporter titles it "75 coaches want USM job" for some reason. Expressing interest does not necessarily mean want.

Not happening. TN took himself out of the mix a day or two ago according to the local TV station. He did get a sit-down interview with the AD, but apparently, it wasn't gonna get the job & thus "removed his name from consideration."
TN is much like Bower around here. Folks appreciate him for his past contributions. However, the defensive slide from the "nasty bunch" days of the late 90s began during TN's days here. The interesting thing is, apparently SOS was about to fire TN as DC. Really lobbied hard for him to get the USM job. Now, it'll be interesting to see what TN's future is under SOS.
In related news, it seems that either Bowden or Fedora (OK State's OC) are rumored to be the top 2 at USM. I've actually heard/more about Fedora these last couple of days, but only God & the A.D. know for sure...(if the A.D. knows...)
I can confirm that he got a sit down interview, then they made him stand back up so they could watch his reactions to their questions.
Agreed. My first reaction was "75 coaches actually WANT the job??", then I got to thinking that it is probably more of a "get the experience of an interview" thing than wanting to take the job.
.... and Tiny could be hard to spot amongst that many .
I'd like to see him get the gig . Tiny is usally pretty good for a few quotes & laughs .
