I can confirm that Southern Indiana will hire UIndy head coach Stan Gouard. He will replace Rodney Watson who retired back in March.

Gouard, a former standout at USI, has been the head coach at UIndy for the past 12 seasons 228-117 (.661). He also served as an assistant at Southern Indiana as well as Indiana State. This past season, he led his squad to a 24-6 (15-5) record,

As a player, he led USI to its first national championship in 1995 under head coach Bruce Pearl, and was the NABC D2 National Player of the Year twice.

An official announcement is expected this afternoon.
