This is the time of year that makes the college football fan crazy. Trying to figure out bowl tie-ins and who has to beat who for this or that to happen. Hell, there are so many scenarios out there that LSU still has a shot at the BCS, but that is another topic for another post. However, USM's decision to fire (if that is what happened) Coach Bower is the one decision that leaves me baffled. This man has presided over the Golden Eagle program for 17 years and has completed 14 straight winning seasons and a 119-82-1 record. All of this while having to recruit against Ole Miss, Miss St, Alabama, and LSU. Coach Bower, in my humble opinion Coach Bower has done more with the talent that he was able to obtain than any coach in Div 1 Bowl Sub-division football.
update
Contrary to early reports, it is now being reported out of the Hattiesburg American that Coach Bower resigned and was not fired. Was this mutual or was he forced out we may never know. Or, we will find out in a day or two. Either way, this is a big loss for the Golden Eagle faithful
