Mandatory Credit: Tim Heitman-Imagn Images | Tim Heitman-Imagn ImagesThe 2012, 2013, and 2014 Southern Miss football seasons were disappointing times for supporters of the Black and Gold. The 2011 season was one of the most successful in season history, with 12 wins and a notable win over No. 7 Houston in the Conference USA Championship. Shortly after winning that year's Hawaii Bowl, head coach Larry Fedora announced he and his staff were leaving Hattiesburg to take over the North Carolina Tar Heels. Southern Miss then hired former defensive coordinator (1988-1989) Ellis Johnson to take the helm. Following the first no-win season since 1925, Johnson and his entire staff were relieved of their duties, and Oklahoma State offensive coordinator Todd Monken was brought in hopes of leading the Golden Eagles to the top. Entering his third season at Southern Miss, Coach Monken's Golden Eagles had won four games in the last two seasons. With his job questionably on the line, something needed to change. The Golden Eagles dropped their first game of 2015 against a Dan Mullen and Dak Prescott-led Mississippi State. However, they turned around and won nine of their next 11 games. The Golden Eagles then lost the Conference USA Championship Game (their first appearance since 2011) and their bowl game as well.

When he was hired, he had every intention of keeping the Golden Eagle's "Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime" moniker. In his first two seasons, despite being near .500, his teams were still competitive, with the largest conference loss being by 13 points to UAB in 2009.In 2010, his team looked to improve on previous mistakes. In 10 of the team's 13 games, the Golden Eagles scored 30 or more points. The 2010 squad also got USM's first Top-25 win since defeating No. 10 TCU in 2003. All but one of USM's losses during this 2010 season were within 1-3 points.Record: 8-5 (5-3 CUSA)Lost the Beef ‘O Brady’s Bowl to LouisvilleNotable Players: Austin Davis (QB), DeAndre Brown (WR), Khryi Thornton (DL)Notable Wins: vs. Kansas (31-16) & @ No. 25 UCF (31-21)These two teams stand out in a tumultuous part of USM's football history, but nonetheless, here we are with both going head-to-head in the first round of our summer bracket challenge.
