Larry Fedora (born (1962-09-10)September 10, 1962) is an American football coach, who currently serves as head football coach at the University of Southern Mississippi.

Coaching career

Fedora played wide receiver at Austin College before starting his coaching career as a graduate assistant there in 1986. He spent four seasons as head coach at Garland High School, a powerhouse in Texas high school football, but then returned to the collegiate ranks, coaching tight ends, wide receivers and running backs for six seasons (1991–96) at Baylor. Fedora moved on to coach the passing game and receivers at United States Air Force Academy from 1997–98, before he became offensive coordinator at Middle Tennessee State University in 1999. In 2002, he was hired by Ron Zook to join his coaching staff at the University of Florida. Fedora served as run game coordinator in 2002, perimeter game coordinator in 2003 and offensive coordinator in 2004. During those three seasons, Fedora also coached the running backs and receivers.

In 2005, Fedora joined Mike Gundy's staff at Oklahoma State. His brother, Lee Fedora, serves as head coach at Navasota High School in Navasota, Texas. His other brothers John Fedora and Bruce Fedora live in College Station and Austin.

As one of the most prolific offensive strategists in college football, Fedora drew several assistant coaching offers from top-tier schools including LSU and Alabama as well as some head coaching offers including Rice and Air Force.[2] Earning $393,000 a year at Oklahoma State, Fedora was one of the top paid offensive coordinators in the country. In November 2007, Fedora was rumored to be a candidate for the then-vacant head coaching job at Baylor University, that eventually went to Art Briles.[3] In 2011, Fedora was rumored to be a candidate for the then-vacant head coacing job at The University of Kansas and The University of Mississippi. Fedora declined to comment on either position as he remained focused on his upcoming C-USA Championship game against Houston.

Southern Miss

On December 11, 2007, Fedora was named the new head coach of Southern Miss, replacing outgoing Jeff Bower.[4] He signed a four-year contract with a $650,000 base salary, but incentives in the contract could bring the contract close to $900,000.[1]

He made a big splash in his first recruiting season, as Fedora was able to land 5 star prospect DeAndre Brown, who had offers from several SEC schools, such as LSU, Ole Miss, Auburn, and others. Southern Miss was generally regarded as having the best recruiting class of the "mid-majors".

Fedora opened his first season as head coach at Southern Miss with a 51–21 drubbing of Louisiana–Lafayette, in which the Golden Eagles broke the school record for total yards in a single game with 633.
