Southern Miss fires head coach Will Hall

Southern Miss has fired head football coach Will Hall after a 1-6 start to the season.

Over the last two seasons, Hall led Southern Miss to a combined 4-15 record and a 14-28 record since he took over the program in 2020.

“We are grateful to Will and his family for their dedication to Southern Miss over the past four years,” USM Athletic Director Jeremy McClain said in an official statement. “Will poured his heart and soul into this program and into shaping these young men. Unfortunately, the results on the field didn’t align with our shared goals and expectations.”

“Our immediate focus is twofold: first, supporting our student-athletes throughout the remainder of the season, and second, conducting a comprehensive national search to identify the next leader for Southern Miss football,” McClain added. “This is a proud program with an outstanding history and a premier job in college football.  We will find the next leader to usher us into a new era of championship success.”

Assistant coach Reed Stringer will serve as the Golden Eagles’ interim head coach.

The Golden Eagles are coming off of a 44-28 loss to Arkansas State.
