Interim head coach Tim Billings met with the media following Southern Miss’ Halloween football game versus Rice, a 30-6 thrashing to the Owls. Southern Miss is on its 3rd head coach of the season with assistant head coach Tim BillingsĀ taking over for Scotty Walden. Walden announced Tuesday he was taking the head coaching job at Austin Peay. Walden had been serving as the Golden Eagles’ interim head coach since Jay Hopson resigned following a loss to South Alabama in the team’s opener on Sept 3. Billings oversaw the Eagles in their loss at Liberty last weekend after Walden tested positive for COVID-19. Billings will serve as interim coach the remainder of the season.
