I don't know if Willie Simmons is ready yet but he's a CLASS ACT.

Latrell Scott better sign that contract with Norfolk State. If I were FAMU, I'd go after Willie Simmons. He was an OC at MTSU prior to going to Alcorn two years ago.

I don't know if Willie Simmons is ready yet but he's a CLASS ACT.

I like the trend of going younger in the MEAC. NCCU and Morgan State went younger and it got them a winning record and a share of the Conference Title. He knows offense and can give a fresh prospective on things.

I like Joker...It's not like he wasn't a good coach, it's just that he was recruiting Kentucky and Playing Alabama!!!! He is a solid individual and a good coach. From what I hear, the Rattler's could a little discipline and I think he can bring that.

Charlie Weatherbie?! Man they ain't gonna hire dat cracker!!!

I'd strike Orlando off that list, if I was FAM, that ship has sailed. Nice list overall.

Joker Phillips is a class act also.. He was at a few of the fund raisers I attended and he did a few speaches. Really liked the guy and suprised he's not already an HC somewhere? KY is a tough place for an HC in football.. They pour more$$ into the BB team than the football team LOL!!
