You do realize this will be his first head coaching job at the college level? Southern Miss is a competitive program and a great place to use as a stepping stone to a BCS conference job.

Must be problems at Bama...

Seriously the trend seems to be you need head coaching experience... So folks are going that route instead of coordinators...

I would have to agree with what most have said, Southern Miss is a really good school. They are in the top 25 this year and usually are a bowl team. With Ole Miss being so down, you really could see Southern Miss start moving up in recruits lists in Mississippi and if Smart goes and does well for 3 to 4 years, you would see a ton of AQ schools go after him. I really think that this is one of the top non-AQ jobs you could get and considering that this would be his first head coach job, I really don't think that realistically he could have asked for a better first job.
