RE: Guess he's staying
We can settle for whoever is the Ok St O-C when Hall eventually leaves an 3-4 years. We'll win again, reign as SBC champ for a few years, make a NY6 bowl, and finished ranked in the top 10.... Better than nothing. I guess......
BUT, I still say we need to think outside the box.
Convince a Nick Saban, Kirby Smart, or Dabo type coach that anyone can be successful at big money schools, but if they want a REAL challenge they need to attempt a Natty run at a piss poor, broke, G5 school like Southern Miss. Kind of like Rocky Balboa in Rocky 4 story. Think of Southern Miss like the frozen tundra of Russia. Go back to his coaching roots, with a make-shift, rag tag team of Bad News Bears type coaching staff and a shoe string budget. Then, AND ONLY THEN, will USM return to the meaningful discussion of relevant FBS football programs. Think of every underdog sports movie cliche' you can muster, Waterboy, Rocky 4, the Replacements, Necessary Roughness, Blades of Glory, Little Giants, Revenge of the Nerds, even the House Bunny, roll it all together and "PLOWY!!" SOUTHERN MISS : Notional Champions 2028, BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We just need to get Nick a nice place in Oak Grove....
But seriously, if we shoot for Perfection and miss, we will still probably hit Excellence. Seems like we keep shooting for "Good Enough" and missing, why not take a chance?
