King is on the radar to be the next HC at USF along with Willie Taggart and Jim Leavitt

Will Hall in the mix for Ole Miss job.
Feldman: Identifying the candidates to be the next Ole Miss head coach https://theathletic.com/1424788/2019/12 ... ed-article
Tulane offensive coordinator Will Hall, 39, knows the state of Mississippi as well as any coach in football. His father Bobby is a Mississippi coaching legend. Will Hall won the 2003 Harlon Hill Trophy honoring the nation’s best Division II player. The younger Hall got promoted to be the head coach at West Alabama in 2011 and won two league titles and twice went to the NCAA Division II playoffs in his three seasons running the program. Then, in a three-year head coaching stint at West Georgia, he led the Wolves to a 31-9 record, their first Gulf South Conference (GSC) title since 2000 and a pair of NCAA Division II semifinal appearances. Since then he’s been the offensive coordinator at Louisiana Lafayette and then Memphis working for Mike Norvell. This season he joined Willie Fritz at Tulane, where he leads the nation’s No. 24 offense — up from No. 70 last year.

This. So many missed opportunities with wide open players that he couldn't hit. Our offensive numbers jumped quite a bit because of the system and with a quality QB would have jumped through the roof. We'll see what Howard has.

No way is he head coach material at an SEC school. I have no problem with him leaving. Bring in Frank Wilson. .

Here’s my take:
Ole Miss going to hire Memphis HC Mike Novell. Novell will bring Will Hall over to be his OC. No brainer with his Mississippi connections.

Norvell to Ole Miss...ya mean after the sanctions they just went thru, they are going to endure Norvell's "odor "....there is a reason he has not been getting those PEE interviews....but we will see how desperate the good people in Oxford really are...on the bright side the Urban Legend is still available

It appears so. He could be moved to WR after the spring.

I can see Napier to Ole Miss, but to date Hall has proven nothing but a “trick play” against Houston. So, I think Hall stays. And, let’s see how Napier does against Appy St. for the “Mighty ‘Belt” championship game on Saturday @ Boone, N.C.; the only “real teams” ULALA has played this season are Miss. St. and Appy St., and they lost to both.🤷🏻‍♂️

As much as I don't think Hall has done enough to warrant a jump to a HC job or a $ million OC position at a P5, he's done a whole lot. Unfortunately, the offense didn't mature during the year, but it was still 27th or so in the country, picked up about 100 yards more/game and scored about 8 points more than the previous year. This offense teased us in the first half of the season, but we didn't have new wrinkles and twists to keep opponents from knowing what's coming the second half of the year.

Appalachian State should beat up on U-La-La. That being said, Napier is a very good coach.

Given the extent of the Charlie Strong disaster, it's hard to imagine USF considering anybody on the current staff.

Any thoughts on why Petersen resigned? Health issues? Better coaching offer? TV? Burnout?

According to college football insider Bruce Feldman, Fritz’s name is being thrown around a lot.

I agree with CT, I know we’re mad at Hall for the offense not continuing to progress (and hall himself saying he didn’t get Mcclesky and Mooney the ball enough), but our offense jumped 70+ spots to #25 in the country. This will get Hall significant interest.


Ruse under performing and McMillan being erratic is why that offense wasn’t top 20 and why we aren’t 10-2.

IMHO, Fritz and/or Hall would be crazy to not consider other higher level jobs if offered. With no QB ready to step in, the losses at WR and the weak OL, I’m not real confident we can avoid a step backward next year.

From what I've read, Shaun didn't want to work at Tulane because he wanted to stay close to home. I'm a big Shaun King fan, still have a Tulane AND Buccaneers SK jersey. But I don't think he's ready to be a HC, he's only been a position coach for a few years.
