Will Aggies Go All In For Next Football Coach?
By JC • on December 3, 2008
The rumors are growing louder and louder about North Carolina A&T and their search for a new head football coach. A source close to the program recently disclosed to the HBCU Sports Blog that the short list of names includes Tuskegee’s Willie Slater, Jackson State’s Rick Comegy, and Prairie View’s Henry Frazier III.
Speculation also has a rather large number being floated around for the next head coach’s annual salary. $300K is the generous end of guessing game and $175,000 is the established low-end.
Nothing has been reported or confirmed by members of the university or the A&T athletic administration, so it’s all hearsay at this point. But with the Aggies’ recent stretch of football mediocrity, it seems plausible that they are willing to dramatically reverse course by bringing in a big name coach with a history of success.
Aggie Pride is a lucrative business venture for the university, and while a big salary may seem ominous, a proven head coach may prove to be just what the program needs for wins and an increase in fan and sponsorship-generated revenues.
