After a 1-6 start to Will Hall's fourth season as the head coach of Southern Miss, AD Jeremy McClain announced Hall's firing on Sunday afternoon. Hall won 14 games in three and a half seasons.

Assistant head coach and general manager Reed Stringer will be the program's interim head coach for the remainder of the season.

"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 stated. "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."
