Head football coach Todd Monken resigned Sunday afternoon to become the offensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
“It’s been a privilege to lead this program over the last three years,” Monken said. “We have accomplished a lot in rebuilding the Southern Miss program, and we did it together.”
After going 4-20 from the years 2013 to 2014, Monken completed a turnaround for the ages as he led Southern Miss to the Conference USA Championship game behind a 9-5 record.
“It’s difficult news, but at the same time I’m happy for coach Monken,” said athletic director Bill McGillis.
