He graduated from Delta State, spent four years as an assistant there, and then spent seven years as the head coach at Jones County Junior College. So he spent at least 15 years in Mississippi prior to coming to Tech. His wife is also from Mississippi.

With USM's success, I wouldn't be surprised if maybe he sees a path to being a head coach there.

His bio also says he's from Monroe, Louisiana.

I've noticed that before. I think he was just born in Monroe. I've never met anybody who grew up with him around here.

I saw that, but I also read a story when he was leaving Delta State that quoted him as saying he was from Dallas.

I was surprised that Berry hired Ostrander given his close friendship with Burroughs. It is my understanding that Ostrander and his family had many friends back in the Hattiesburg area and liked living in the area very much. He also very much enjoyed his time at Tech. Lane Burroughs will find a great replacement. Good luck on the new hire.

Thanks. It (our replacement) is done.
