Grambling State University Pursues Head Football Coach
|
Posted By: Reginald Culpepper on October 02, 2013 Grambling State University President Frank G. Pogue has appointed a nine-member search committee to consider and identify the university’s next head football coach. “We have a lot of work to do, there are a lot of needs and we need a good administrator, a good manager who also has coaching experience,” said Pogue, who said the university has officially posted the coaching vacancy. “We need someone who is a positive, upbeat leader, someone with strong organizational skills and someone who will put our student-athletes first while doing what’s necessary to develop strong relationships across athletics, the university, the community and among alumni.” Athletics Director Aaron James said he will work closely with the search committee to ensure a thorough and exhaustive search, and one that will yield a strong field of candidates. James said while there is no definite timetable, he hopes for a swift conclusion, it is more important to identify and hire the best candidate. “We need a team player, someone who will work with the other coaches and me,” added James, who took on permanent AD duties just recently. Pogue appointed Leon Sanders, vice president for finance and administration, to chair the search committee. The president said the search committee includes a diverse representation of university employees, alumni and a student-athlete representative.
