Southern Miss will hire Matt Kubik as its new offensive coordinator, according to a report Friday from the Biloxi Sun Herald.
Kubik spent the past four years at ULM, where he helped the Warhawks become one of nine teams to average at least 250 passing and 200 rushing yards per game. As a whole, ULM ranked 17th nationally in total offense (460.9 yards per game), 21st in yards per play (6.37) and 45th in scoring (31.6 points per game) en route to a 5-7 season in 2019.
The ground game was a sore spot for Southern Miss last year, as the Golden Eagles ranked just 121st nationally at 117.5 yards per game and 116th at 3.52 yards per carry.
Kubik will replace Buster Faulkner, who left to become an analyst at Georgia.
Interestingly, Southern Miss played against its new recently -- twice. In a 2017-18 home-and-home, Southern Miss defeated ULM 28-17 in 2017, but Kubik and the Warhawks struck back in ’18, winning 21-20.
