Reports: Southern tabs Jason Rollins as head football coach

Southern has stayed in-house for its next head football coach.

The school is reportedly set to name Jason Rollins as interim coach, as first reported by Jaguar Journal radio show host Reggie Flood and confirmed by WBRZ-TV in Baton Rouge.

Rollins, a safeties coach and special teams coordinator under former head coach Dawson Odums, spent nine seasons at Tulane as secondary coach, including serving as co-defensive coordinator in 2015 and special teams coordinator in 2014.

The McNeese alum coached at his alma mater before Tulane and UTSA after his time in uptown New Orleans.

Southern reportedly had talks with Marshall Faulk about the opening.
