Southern University interim coach Dawson Odums addresses media, names offensive coordinators



BATON ROUGE, Louisiana - Dawson Odums sounded as comfortable as seat cushions, addressing the media for the first time as Southern University's interim head football coach Monday during the SWAC's weekly coaches teleconference.

The position was bestowed upon the Jaguars defensive coordinator when athletic director William Broussard announced that Stump Mitchell had been reassigned to undisclosed administrative duties at a press conference in Baton Rouge, La. Friday afternoon.

Mitchell's firing came the day after Southern, which was coming off a bye, fell 6-0 at home to a Mississippi Valley State squad which had just four days rest before the Thursday night affair that was aired live on ESPNU.

The Jaguars (0-2) will travel to face conference foe Jackson State Saturday (1-2, 1-0) at 4 p.m. After dropping their first couple ball games, the Tigers defeated Texas Southern 45-35 in Houston to get into the win column.
