What Can Brown do for USC?

According to AM-560 in Columbia, current Southern Mississippi University Assistant Coach Grady Brown is the leading candidate to replace the recently fired Jeep Hunter. Sources expect Brown to be on the USC campus within the next 24-48 hours to interview and if all goes well then it is expected that USC Head Coach Steve Spurrier would likely offer the job to Golden Eagles Secondary Coach. Brown just completed his third season in Hattiesburg and was the only assistant retained by new Head Coach and former Gamecocks Defensive Coordinator Ellis Johnson.

Southern Mississippi finished seventh last season nationally in Pass Efficiency Defense and returned an NCAA record eight interceptions for touchdowns.

Prior to being at Southern Mississippi under former Head Coach Larry Fedora, Brown served on the LSU staff under Les Miles as an assistant strength and conditioning coach.

Brown graduated from Alabama A&M in 2000.
