Southern Mississippi football coach Will Hall was fired Sunday after a 1-6 start to his fourth season and assistant head coach Reed Stringer was named interim coach for the rest of the season. Hall was 14-30 following a 44-28 home loss to Arkansas State.

Will Hall is out as the Southern Miss football coach, officially fired by the Golden Eagles on Sunday. Reed Stringer was named the interim head coach. Southern Miss (1-6, 0-3 Sun Belt Conference) has lost five games in a row — all by double digits — and plays at James Madison (5-2, 1-2) on Saturday (2:30 p.m., ESPN+).

Will Hall leaves USM after three-plus seasons, having posted the worst winning percentage among coaches to have led the Golden Eagles’ football program.
