The sec didn't destroy southern miss, a shitty coach did.
This opinion piece is literally too stupid for words. This shouldn't have made it out of shaggybevo.

Firing Jeff Bower killed USM football.

what killed them was not capitalizing on recruiting after Favre left

Exactly. Add the decent success at Troy and UAB starting football to that.

Southern Miss went to 10 straight bowls prior to the Ellis Johnson experiment. They won 11 games in 2011.
Troy and UAB had nothing at all to do with their current situation.

We disagree. I first posted that they should have never fired Jeff Bower.

Don't you mean USA and UAB? Troy's move up to D-I / FBS hurts, too, I suppose.

One reason and one reason only
Ellllllllllllos Johnson
:bird:
Pappy Buttermilk completely destroyed the football program at Southern Miss.
The bright side of it is that I know people that have made a pile of money betting the other side.

It needed to happen. MS can't support 3 big schools with football and expect them to compete. But as others have said, the day the fired Jeff Bower was the day they signed their death warrant.
Jeff Bower won 4 CUSA titles, went to 10 bowls and was in his 6th straight bowl appearance when southern miss fans decided they could do better.

No. I responded to a post that linked USA as a cause, then added Troy & UAB.

Geez. He's blaming Saban, Bert and then just lumping in the SEC. He doesn't like their attitude towards football. Great, lots of people don't. Like Sumlin, Freeze, Gus etc.
The guy sounds like a bitter fan who is upset he hired a shite coach. Blame Ellie Johnson. Don't blame the people he tried to emulate. They didn't force him to run his program a certain way. Maybe he should direct his anger at the administration who thought they could win using old school tactics with sub par players. USM isn't going to line up and over power people. Why would anyone think they could?
I hope UA beats them by 70, just because of this guy. What a pussy.

That's like blaming the zone read for us hiring Fran.

This article is 100% right - from a smaller school perspective. The greed of the SEC and the other elite conferences will end up destroying college football as we have known it. It will be good for the SEC but bad for everyone else. From his view, I get what he is saying.
Plus, the writer did blame their horrible coach, Ellis Johnson. Everyone can't be Alabama and Saban's opposition to the HUNH is a joke.
The article is written from a smaller college perspective and there are valid concerns here. Of course, SEC fans won't like it because it messes with their dominance. But, in every other sport, mid-major programs can field competitive teams. Not in college football, however, where all of the power is being collected at the top schools.
That will ultimately be bad for the game. If you don't have schools like Southern Miss and Troy and Memphis able to be at least somewhat competitive, then interest is lost in those programs. There actually is more to college football than who wins the national championship.
