I sure hope that Dr. Ammons keeps his promise by highering a great HC by the end of this year, as we are surely losing out on good mid level prospects. Anyone that is not locked up by now or has interest in a program may not be the direction that we want to go (either they are not that good or they can’t qualify). My hope is that we get a coach that is already recruiting, and that he could encourage those players to follow him to FAMU. Otherwise, we really will not have a good recruiting class at all (all though Coach Carter left use with a solid foundation).Now is not the time to dilly dally, we must move quickly to find a great hire. I wonder is there is anyone on Michigan’s coaching staff that would consider the job?
The other thing, this coach has to embrace the young talent that we have at FAMU. One of the downsides with Coach Carter was the fact that he didn’t embrace Coach’s Joe’s players. If the next coach uses this same philosophy (bringing my own guys in and doing it my way) we can expect to be mediocre for the next 3 to 5 years until all of Carter’s guys are gone. Let’s hope for the best.
"The majority of Coach Joe's players were walkons. Joe was a poor recruiter and left us with a few players that are a disgrace to a rattler uniform..."
What idiot wrote the above? I guess that's why Coach Joe's team dominated the MEAC and went to the playoffs every year before Corbin and Company interfered with his program.
In fact, Coach Joe is the only HBCU coach to get to the semi-finals of the 1-AA playoffs in more recent time. Your players have to be pretty bad to accomplish that, right? And is Quinn Gray playing well for the Jax Jaguars? Yeah, he was a disgrace to the Rattler uniform, right?
You sound like Albert Chester, Sr. or the Ray Matthews (Sr. and Jr.) crew.
Could this help us land Rod Broadway?????? Hope so!!!!!

NEW ORLEANS -- First-year Grambling coach Rod Broadway got a rude introduction into the furious emotion associated with losing the Bayou Classic.
In the frenetic moments following Southern’s 22-13 win today in this in-state rivalry game, Broadway was accosted by several supporters -- including former Grambling defender Elfrid Payton.
Broadway was still stung by the fans’ response as reporters encircled him outside the GSU lockerroom in the Superdome moments later.
“They can have this (expletive) job,” Broadway said. “If that's the way they want to do, they can have this (expletive) job.”
Payton also confronted former Grambling coach Doug Williams after the 2003 Bayou Classic, which GSU lost 44-41, nearly causing a fist fight.
“That’s a shame,” Broadway said. “We are trying as hard as we can try. That’s why I don’t want (fans) down there (on the sideline). That stuff is uncalled for.”
Southern 22, Grambling 13 NEW ORLEANS -- Grambling State University fell behind in the first quarter and never regained the lead in a tightly contested Bayou Classic loss to Southern University.
GSU’s 22-13 stumble, its first in Southwestern Athletic Conference play, leaves the team at 8-3 overall.
“The most embarrassing part is they played harder than us,” first-year Grambling coach Rod Broadway said. “I think they had a little more intensity than we had tonight.”
The Tigers have lost two straight after falling to the University of Louisiana at Monroe in non-league action two weeks ago.
Despite that skid, Grambling has already secured a berth in the SWAC Championship Game, to be played Dec. 15 against Eastern Division champion Jackson State. GSU earned the Western crown for the fifth time since 2000 with a win over Texas Southern in October.
That didn’t lessen the impact of losing to Grambling’s in-state conference rival.
“They outcoached us, and they outplayed us,” Broadway said. “We’ll regroup in the next couple of weeks and try to win the SWAC Championship.”
Southern, which has taken two in a row against GSU, now leads the all-time series 18-16. Over the years, Southern has had overwhelming success in this series when the games are close, winning nine of 11 contests decided by a touchdown or less since the game moved to the Superdome in 1974.
Attendance on Saturday, announced at 53,297, was the fourth-lowest ever. Last season’s crowd of 47,136, in the first-post Katrina playing of the Bayou Classic, set the record for smallest gate.
Hopefully those idiots at Grambling will force Broadway out. We aren't anywhere as retarted as the Grambling fanbase. They go crazy over the Fried Chicken and Neckbone Classics, yet never put any force behind playing in the playoffs.

Why would we want to hire anyone from Michigan's losing program as FAMU's head coach?

Dr. Ammons has this thing under control and will hire us a quality coach.
