Already on the fired list a couple of threads down. The Cusa board 's been allover this for a couple of hours now. Rivals has Applewhite and a couple of other coaches mentioned for the job already too. 04-cheers

Bower is a longtime, respected nemesis for us former CUSA teams; I wish him well.

I wonder if S. Miss will go after Tyrone Nix.

Why not Paul Petrino, he has Southern Miss ties as well.

I was thinking about that too; it would be the contrast of Nix (offense mind vs defense mind).

I know defense wins championships, but Bobby Petrino showed that a great offense and a decent defense can as well; perhaps the S. Miss fans are ready for a little offensive show after all these years.

Southern Piss should consider going Division I-AA. Considering that they can't even beat UCF what hope do they have to be competitive nationally.

would that mean your basketball team should go division 3 due to lack of competitiveness?

Wow!! Bower is a real winner. He has been a great coach and ambassador for S. Miss, as well as college football. I respect that he stepped down. I wish him well in his future.

I hope USM has the assets to attract a quality coach that will stay around for a while. The USM program deserves that. Paul Petrino would be a great pick up for them if they could pull it off. Nix is a great name. I don't know that he is ready for a head coaching job yet, but he's a home grown guy.

Best of luck in the search Golden Eagles.

I dont know if he stepped down voluntarily or whether he had no choice in the matter. I do know that he is a very good coach. I had been hearing about him being under some pressure the last couple of years. I hope he was able to leave on his own terms.
If he was forced to step down then karma will come back to haunt the program. See Syracuse and Nebraska. These programs got rid of good coaches unfairly as they were in somewhat down periods and they are now paying the price. I wish only the best for Coach Bower.

the grass isn't always greener, southern miss fans. didn't he have something like 16 consecutive winning seasons? what more do you want? you're not texas or southern cal, heck you're not even ole miss. as louisville showed this year, don't underestimate the value of having a good coach. and even if a new coach has some success, he'll pretty much be a risk to leave after every season, i doubt you can find someone with the loyalty that bower had, of course a lot of good that did for him.

I think a team like Duke or NMSU would be greatly served to give Bower a call. I cannot believe he was canned.

It would be great if we could meet in the bowl so we can open up a can of monkey stomp and show you what level we think of for you. There were some great UL and Cincy fans I enjoyed, but most USF fans were just like you. Either pure ignorant, or a little ignorant but dumb enough to prove it by opening your mouth. You are a disgrace to a classy conference.
