Florida A&M Athletic Director Bill Hayes has fired three key administrators within the department, including former head baseball coach Joseph Durant.

It was the first significant personnel changes Hayes has made signs being hired last month. Durant was reassigned to the position of Facilities Coordinator this summer after being replaced by Robert Lucas as the school's head baseball coach.

Hayes also fired Senior Associate Athletics Director for Operations and Compliance Robert Raines and Associate Athletic Director of Academic Services E. Dwayne Robinson.

Both Raines and Robinson were hired by former athletic director Nelson Townsend, who resigned last month.

Hayes said their responsibilities for all three positions will be reassigned to staff within the department already.

"We are in the process of restructuring our administrative staff as we continue to move forward with our goals to become a better athletic department," Hayes said Wednesday. "We will continue to look to make the necessary changes to improve as a department and to improve how we serve all of our athletic programs."

Hayes has always known how to pick assistants. He ain't always had the budget to do it, but at least he knew how to evaluate.
