Charles Huff Joins Southern Miss as Head Coach

Charles Huff, former head coach at Marshall, has been appointed as the new head coach of Southern Miss following a successful season where he led Marshall to a Sun Belt Conference Championship. Huff, who did not extend his contract with Marshall, leaves behind a 32-20 record over four seasons, with the team achieving bowl eligibility each year. At Southern Miss, he replaces Will Hall, who was dismissed after a poor season with a 1-11 record. The move is notable as Huff transitions from a championship-winning team to one that finished last in their conference. Huff brings extensive experience from his previous roles at Penn State, Alabama, and the NFL, and aims to revitalize Southern Miss football. Southern Miss is hopeful that Huff's leadership will help them return to consistent bowl game appearances and reclaim their competitive standing in the Sun Belt Conference.
