BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- Ninety days after Dawson Odums took over as interim football coach at
Southern University, 19 days after the end of the regular season and 10 days
after Athletic Director William Broussard began digging into a pool of six
semifinalists, the Jaguars have apparently ended their search where it
began.With Odums.
According to sources familiar with the search, Broussard will recommend Odums’ name to the SU System Board of Supervisors at their on-campus meeting Friday afternoon, ending a search that effectively began when Southern reassigned Stump Mitchell on Sept. 14.
The Jaguars played nine games after that, going 4-5 with Odums in charge. Three of those wins came against their top rivals — Jackson State, Florida A&M and Grambling.
Four of their losses were close. One of them — a 50-21 wipeout against Arkansas-Pine Bluff, the eventual champion — was not close.
Broussard declined to confirm the recommendation.
