Two Alabama coaches tabbed as candidates for Southern Miss HC opening per On3

Mar 6, 2024; Tuscaloosa, Alabama, USA; Defensive coordinator Kane Wommack gives directions during practice of the Alabama Crimson Tide football team Wednesday.

We are through eight weeks of the 2024 college football season, and the coaching carousel is just starting to turn as both Eastern Carolina and Southern Mississippi relieved their head coaches of their respective duties this past week following losses.

The positions likely will not be filled until the season is over, or at least for a few more weeks, but it’s never too early to speculate who will take over the vacancies. Pete Nakos of On3 Sports projects Alabama Crimson Tide DC Kane Wommack to be a candidate to replace Will Hall at Southern Miss saying,

Personally, I would be surprised to see Wommack leave Alabama after just one year, especially with much left to prove. However, it is just a matter of time until he gets another head coaching gig.

Nakos also listed the Crimson Tide defensive line coach Freddie Roach as a potential candidate saying,

“The former Alabama linebacker, Freddie Roach has spent time as an assistant at East Mississippi Community College and Ole Miss. The 41-year-old defensive line coach returned to Tuscaloosa in 2020 for his third stint working on Nick Saban’s staff and is now with DeBoer.”
