Jay Hopson resigns as Southern Miss head coach

We’re just one week into the 2020 college football season and we’ve already seen our first coaching change.

In a wild turn of events, Southern Miss Head Coach Jay Hopson has decided to resign from the program after suffering a highly disappointing home loss to South Alabama in week one. It was the Jaguars first road win since 2017.

The news was first reported by Southern Miss outlets To The Top Talk and BigGoldNation.com, before being corroborated by Brett McMurphy via Twitter.
