Southern Miss’ Hall makes major coaching changes on first day of offseason
SUMMARY: After a disappointing 3-9 season, Southern Miss fired defensive coordinator Dan O’Brien, defensive line coach Brandon Lacy, and tight ends coach Cayden Cochran, as reported by ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg. As the team had the worst scoring defense in the Sun Belt, letting in an average of 35.8 points per game, these changes are part of a restructure by head coach Will Hall, who is set to stay despite holding a 13-23 record. Focus now shifts to recruitment and convincing key players like star running back Frank Gore Jr. to remain with the team. Gore is considering his options, including possibly entering the NFL Draft.

SUMMARY: Mississippi police are warning about a holiday scam called “brushing,” which is becoming more prevalent as package deliveries rise in December. This scam involves recipients receiving unexpected packages accompanied by a QR code that claims to reveal the sender’s identity. Scanning this QR code can compromise personal information, leading to potential theft. Victims may receive items with little to no information about the sender, including claims related to Amazon. Officials advise against scanning any unfamiliar QR codes and recommend reporting such packages. Awareness is key to protecting personal data this holiday season, according to police.

SUMMARY: As the government shutdown deadline approached, the Senate passed a bipartisan bill early Saturday to temporarily fund federal operations and disaster aid, excluding President-elect Donald Trump’s debt ceiling demands. The House overwhelmingly approved the bill, which funds the government through March 14 and includes disaster assistance. Trump had insisted on a debt ceiling increase, threatening a shutdown, but GOP leadership opted for a compromise with Democrats. The outcome raises questions about House Speaker Mike Johnson’s future amidst GOP dissent. President Joe Biden is expected to sign the bill, averting a shutdown that could affect millions, especially during the holiday season.
