The Mobile Press-Register published a story in today’s paper about the coaching search currently taking place at the University of South Alabama (USA) in Mobile. The story confirms that USA athletic director Joe Gottfried has contacted Mississippi State offensive coordinator Woody McCorvey about their headcoaching position and plans on setting up a more formal meeting.

Gottfried also said he is trying to set up a meeting with Mississippi State offensive coordinator Woody McCorvey.

“I have spoken to coach McCorvey on the phone and would like to meet with him,” Gottfried said of the former Alabama assistant coach. “We plan on talking with several coaches about the position because we’re interested in what they’re thinking.”

USA will not field a football team until the 2009 season, but plans on hiring a head coach and several assistants this year to begin the recruiting process. Other coaches mentioned in the article are former USM head coach Jeff Bower, Tulane head coach Chris Scelfo and former Miami Hurricanes head coach Larry Coker.
