History

Wooden Era (2018-2020)

During Wooden's tenure at Southern Miss, the Golden Eagles were one of the more feared teams in the C-USA. They consistently had a strong defense which was bolstered by 1st round pick Dexter Flowers. The Golden Eagles made back to back bowl games in 2019 and 2020. However, Wooden would leave Southern Miss after the 2020 season and head to Buffalo.

Ricky Campbell Era (2021-2023)

Ricky Campbell continued Wooden's success at Southern Miss and ended his first season at 9-4. The Golden Eagles became the first C-USA team to win a bowl game, snapping a 13 bowl game losing streak. After two more successful seasons, Ricky Campbell took the opportunity to move to Washington State. Ricky Campbell led the Golden Eagles to three straight bowl game wins.
