Southern decided to move in a different direction with its football program.
Baton Rouge TV station WBRZ reports Jaguars head coach Fred McNair, who also serves as offensive coordinator, will be the interim head coach.
Losing 24-3 to A&M 24-3 returning home 1-6.
Early in the day on Monday Graves said SWAC coaches are even more head coaches during the media’s media presence.
Graves led the Jaguars to an 8-5 record and the Swac West title in his first full season as head coach, but the South was out of the gate this year. Their lone win was a 34-29 victory over Mississippi Valley State on Aug. 30.
McNair was previously the head coach at his alma mater Alcorn State, where he posted a 48-33 record in seven seasons, including back-to-back SWAC West titles, and frames in 2018 and 2019.
