Years at A&T masterpiece of Rod Broadway's coaching career By Jeff Mills jeff.mills@greensboro.com
GREENSBORO — The old Toyota 4Runner suits the man who drives it. It’s big and rugged, sturdy and reliable. It’s not the least bit flashy, but with more than 237,000 miles on the odometer it has proven itself over the last 21 years. High mileage. Low maintenance. Rod Broadway bought it new in 1996, when he was an assistant football coach on Steve Spurrier’s staff at SEC powerhouse Florida. “I’m gonna get that sucker paid off this year,” Broadway deadpans, breaking into a grin. Broadway has driven the same SUV from Gainesville, Fla., to Chapel Hill to Durham to Grambling, La., and finally to Greensboro, where he is wrapping up his seventh season as the head coach at N.C. A&T. He has found success at all those stops, and his teams are 126-45 in his 15 seasons as a head coach at N.C. Central, Grambling and A&T. But the rebuilding project with the Aggies is his masterpiece. Broadway’s record in Greensboro is 58-22, the best winning percentage in A&T’s 93-year football history.

Hopefully Chancellor Martin has budgeted the extra cash to keep him around forever (or until he wants to retire) and us die-hard Aggie alums should donate the car money. Hell it's the least we can do for all he's done for us and the A&T football program!

Along the way, he figured out that Rod Broadway had a bright future as a football coach. “I thought he had a good chance to be a head coach,” Spurrier said. “Most assistants eventually want to be a head coach. You’ve just got to get that opportunity, get that call. And if you get a chance, you better do well. Some guys get more chances than others, and I’ll never understand why that happens. But life’s not always fair. Sometimes the best assistant coaches don’t get the head jobs, or it takes longer than it should.” ...
