HATTIESBURG, Miss. – Southern Miss Director of Athletics Jeremy McClain announced in late October that the University will be moving in a new direction with its football program, parting ways with head coach Will Hall.
“We are grateful to Will and his family for their dedication to Southern Miss over the past four years,” McClain said. “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.”
McClain further outlined the path ahead for Southern Miss football. “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. 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.”
Southern Miss will immediately commence its search for the next leader of the football program. Assistant Head Coach/General Manager Reed Stringer will serve as the Golden Eagles’ interim head coach for the remainder of the 2024 season.
