Southern Miss hires Ellis Johnson

Southern Miss announced Ellis Johnson as its new head coach. Johnson was the assistant head coach and defensive coach at South Carolina for the past four years. In 1988-89, Johnson served as the defensive coordinator for Southern Miss. Johnson has some experience as a head coach, with one year at Gardner-Webb and three years at The Citadel. I'm surprised Southern Miss didn't turn to an offensive guy to continue the success that Larry Fedora had. I don't hate this hire, but I'm not thrilled with it either.
