New Coaches, New Records?
The SEC has been a coaching carousel in the past few seasons. Out of the twelve members, nine have replaced their head coaches in the past four years. A popular option for replacing coaches is to hire a former SEC coach who all ready understands the special pressures of heading a southern football program. This has worked especially well for Alabama but has given South Carolina and Ole Miss mixed results.

Going in to the final stretch of the season, how are these non-traditional hires working out? «Read the rest of this article»

Checkup time as Lady Govs host Cumberland in only preseason test
Twenty-Four practice days will be put to the test when Austin Peay State University women’s basketball team hosts Cumberland in a 7 p.m., Monday, preseason contest at the Dunn Center.
