Southern Alabama St. Head Coach - Karl Morgan Veteran collegiate coach and former UCLA standout Karl Morgan enters his fourth season as the leader of the Mississippi Valley State football program. He was introduced as the 15th head coach at Missis- sippi Valley State University on January 11, 2010. Morgan also serves as defensive coordinator for the Delta Devils. He came to MVSU after serving five seasons as the defensive coordinator at the University of North Alabama. In his three seasons at the helm at MVSU, the Delta Devils have gone 6-26, but have continued to improve under Morgan. In 2011, Valley finished sixth in the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) in total defense and rushing offense. Then in 2012, the Delta Devils led the SWAC and ranked fourth in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) in total defense, allowing just 279.18 yards per game. Valley also ranked second in the conference in scoring defense, while giving up just 18.7 points per game in 2012. The Delta Devils were atop the conference in rushing defense (116.2), pass defense efficiency (99.7) and interceptions (13). Meanwhile, MVSU allowed just 163 passing yards per game (2nd in the SWAC). While at MVSU, Morgan has coached six postseason All-SWAC Delta Devils – all named following the 2012 season. In 2012, Morgan became the first MVSU head football coach to lead the Delta Devils to victories over Southern and Grambling State in the same season since legendary coach Archie Cooley in 1984.
