History of the Jaguars

The Southern Jaguars are a college sports team with a long and storied history. Representing the University of South Alabama, the Jaguars have been competing in NCAA Division I since 1979 and have established themselves as one of the top teams in their conference.

Since joining NCAA Division I, the Jaguars have won seven regular season championships, including four consecutive titles from 2011-2014. The Jags also boast three tournament championships: two Sun Belt Conference Championships (2010 and 2012) and one National Invitational Tournament Championship (2008). In addition to these successes on the court/field, numerous members of Southern's athletic programs have gone on to compete professionally at both regional and national levels across several different sports disciplines.

The most recognizable face associated with this program is former head coach Ronnie Arrow who helmed it from 1998-2014 before retiring due to health concerns; during his tenure, he led them to unprecedented success that included six straight 20+ win seasons between 2003-2009 which resulted in five NIT appearances for his teams during those years alone! This period was arguably some of their best years - they reached heights never before seen by any other school within their conference or division!

In recent times however, there has been more disappointment than joy surrounding Jaguar athletics; they haven't had much luck making postseason appearances lately, but hopefully, this will change soon enough under new leadership provided by Head Coach Richie Riley, who took over after Coach Arrow stepped down last year. Regardless, it's crucial not to forget all that has come before – no matter how tough things get now or what happens next, you can always count on Southern’s strong tradition when cheering for your favorite sports team!
