FAMU Athletic Director Bill Hayes is now an official applicant for the AD post at Winston-Salem State University.
The Winston-Salem Journal reports that one source in Winston-Salem and another in Tallahassee confirmed Hayes' decision to apply for the job. It also writes that: “Two candidates interviewed extensively, sources have said, but both later withdrew their names from consideration. They were Michael Bailey, the football coach and AD at Virginia Union, and Tim Grant, a former basketball player and assistant coach at WSSU.”
In a recent interview with the paper, Hayes said that he had a “soft spot” for WSSU, where he coached football for 12 seasons during the late 1970s and early 1980s.
WSSU Chancellor Donald Reaves refused to give the press any comment about the issue.
The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference has offered WSSU membership. Reaves said the school will formally announce whether it will accept that invitation this month.

Go Bill go, literally !!!
ReplyDeleteJust stay up there, we will pack and send your stuff for you.
Actually RN, WSSU will be deciding on the direction of their athletics tomorrow (Friday). So an update will be available sooner than expected.
ReplyDeletegreat!!!!!!now let's see if we can get an outsider who is not hamstrung by a micromanaging admin afraid of anyone else getting their shine on....
ReplyDeleteA couple of things have to happen. First WWSU must make, and Mr. Hayes must accept, an offer. Then we have to hold back the folks that are ready to offer one particular individual. Let's go see what great talent is out there and then get the best fit for FAMU.
ReplyDeleteFAMU ALUMNI YOU'RE COMING CLOSE TO CLEANING UP FAMU WITH HAYES HOPEFULLY LEAVING. NOW YOU HAVE TO PRAY THAT AMMONS LEAVES RIGHT BEHIND HAYES.
ReplyDelete7:25, why would we pray that??
ReplyDeleteno not ammons look at all the positive things he has done for the university. please dont attack our president.
ReplyDeleteSome things you just don't entertain baby.
ReplyDeleteNot sure how this would work with WSSU going back to D2.
ReplyDeleteRN why everytime someone talks about Ammons in a negative but truthful way.RN takes that person opinion off the the page.RN, you must have forgotten about freedom of the press.
