The new coach will begin working on hiring staff and prepare for a meeting when the players return from break.

Tony Samuel received an early Christmas present on Wednesday when he officially was named the head football coach at Southeast Missouri State in a news conference held at the Show Me Center.

Now the task for Samuel -- who served as defensive ends coach at Purdue this past season after eight years as head coach at Division I New Mexico State -- will be to fill out his staff and get to the business of turning around the struggling Redhawks football program...

I thought they were going to hire Coach Hendrickson out of Western Illinois? What happen? I bet now he lands as assistant at Missouri State with his former teammate at UNI.
