Billy Joe steps down as Miles Col football coach

Miles College Head football Coach William “Billy” Joe resigned abruptly yesterday afternoon sighting health concerns. His resignation is effective immediately. Miles Assistant Offensive-line Coach, Patrick Peasant, will assume duties as interim Coach while a national search ensues.

“It’s been a great and glorious three year ride," Joe said. "But health concerns are becoming too much of a challenge for me to continue in my current capacity.”

Joe took over at Miles in 2008, his 32nd year serving as a head coach. He coached the Rattlers from 1994-2004. Joe leaves Miles as the second all-time winning Coach in HBCU history with over 240 wins, trailing only Grambling’s legendary Eddie Robinson. .
