Names have been flying out there and I welcome any new names. One I have heard is Southern grad Mark Scenters who is a great coach and even better person. However, one name is being failed to mention and that is the Offensive Coordinator and Head Assistant on the staff right now at Southern, Dave Brumley. Brumley is more than qualified for the position. Coach Brumley is a Boone County native and played on the same successful teams with Shaun Alexander, so Brumley knows what its like to win. Brumley has called the plays for Southern for the past 3 years, has coached Offensive and Defensive line for the past 4 years and was the Coordinator on the 2005 team that went 9-3 and had their starting TE sign with Tennessee and the starting RB go to EKU. So, hiring within the staff would be a logical choice in my opinon.

Hello football fans I am new to the site here and I was sorting through this thread and I thought I would shine some light on the topic. I know a lot about the situation at Southern and about Coach Doug Carter. I want to first strat by saying Doug Carter is in my opinon one the best coaches I have ever come in contact with both on the High School and College levels, and if you check around the people who truly know football and him, they will tell you the same. The man has two National Championship rings from being the Offensive Coordinator at EKU, he the winningest coach in Madison Southern history, he has more wins than any coach in Southern history. He took teams to the playoffs in 5 of his 8 years at Southern, with opposing district foes like Breathitt, Leslie, Rockcastle and Bell County. Carter has records of 10-2 (in which the only two losses came again the undefeated, Justin Haddix lead Breathitt County Bobcats and Belfry who slowed down Southern State leading Rusher Malachi Maxwell by bringing the firetrucks out and hosing down the field) and 9-3 in which one loss was to Bell County at home in which Bell's coaching staff even said they were given the game, Rockcastle and Bell both on the road were the other two losses, both losses overshadow the huge win Coach Carter had on the road in the first round of the playoffs at Johnson Central). Coach Carter has 4 kids that played for him at Southern that are playing college football right now, and one is at a little known division one team in the S.E.C. team, I can not remember the name it seems like its...TENNESSEE!!! For people to say this year's seniors were good leaders and should have won 7 to 8 games is far-fetched! The boys are all good boys and great kids, but the talent level at Southern is just not up to the level of their competition right now.
