Hampton University has announced Robert Prunty is no longer its head football coach. He posted a 26-29 record in five seasons since 2018.
Running backs and special teams coach Trent Boykin has been elevated to interim head coach for the 2024 season.

Wow!! Timing seems terrible. Was he fired or he found a job at another school?

This feels like when we fired Koach Jones a few months before the season was set to begin and we were stuck with (c)oach Shumpert - [empahsis on the lowercase "C"].
I wonder if they just ride with the interim guy for 2024 and look for a replacement afterwards.

Use the summer and fall to put together a list of candidates and work with a search firm so that they can hit the ground running come November 2024. |

I remember how well that strategy worked for us with (c)oach Shumpert.
Not sure that is the best option if the interim is not qualified to handle the job.

BAD timing...no matter what the reason.
And some/many recruits don't want to go to a place where they don't know who the HC will be. Granted, they will still be able to get some recruits.

What kinda defensive tackles and wideouts they got?
Did I type that out loud?
Remember that coach they had that only interviewed for a job somewhere else and they fired him because of it? Hampton don't be bullshitten.

By rule, they can enter into portal since their head coach is gone. I expect some (most likely the younger guys) will be calling around. |

Maybe the players like going to school at Hampton.

Although the players have 30 days to go into the Portal, majority will likely stay. No point in leaving until after the season. |
