HOUSTON — A year ago Southern coach Dawson Odums didn’t know if he would be the head football coach of Southern University.Odums had taken over for former coach Stump Mitchell after the Jaguars had lost its first two games of the 2012 campaign, including a humbling 6-0 defeat at the hands of lowly Mississippi Valley State.
Yet the North Carolina native was able to rally the team and finish the season with a 4-5 record as interim head coach, including wins over two rivals: a 28-21 victory over Jackson State and a 38-33 victory over Grambling.
The way in which the Jaguars would end the regular season gave Southern Athletic Director William Broussard plenty to think about in terms of retaining Odums.
One year later, Broussard would be vindicated for his decision to hire Odums as the Jaguars became 2013 Southwestern Athletic Conference Champions.
