Southern Miss, 2025: 7-5

So that's a decade of information. The non-Hall years produced a winning percentage of .547 and the Hall years produced a winning percentage of .286. You just can't handwave his USM record away with that context.

I'm not gonna sit here and argue that .547 is some kind of incredible run, but it's a far cry from .286!

Narrowing it down even further to the HCs immediately before & after and removing interim-coached games leaves you with:

Jay Hopson (2016-2020): 28-23 (.549)

Will Hall (2021-2024): 14-30 (.318)

Charles Huff (2025): 7-5 (.583)

I’m pleasantly befuddled. For about a week or so, just as a joke, I’ve been pushing Hall for the job on Twitter whenever the opportunity to do so came across my feed. Hell if they didn’t actually hire the son of a gun.
