Charles Huff Named Southern Miss Football Coach

Charles Huff has been appointed as the new head coach of Southern Miss football, succeeding Will Hall after a difficult four-season period for the program. Huff, who previously led Marshall to a Sun Belt Conference championship, aims to revitalize Southern Miss, which recently struggled with a 1-11 record. During his introduction, Huff emphasized the importance of culture and discipline in achieving success, stating, 'everything matters.' His contract includes a $950,000 annual salary and potential performance bonuses up to $870,000. Huff's hiring is notable not only for his record but also because he is the first African-American head coach in Southern Miss history. The university community is optimistic about his leadership as they hope to reclaim the program's prestigious past.
