Hampton AD: Rose to return as Pirates' coach in 2012

HAMPTON, Virginia - Donovan Rose is confident Hampton University's football program has improved in his three seasons as head coach. He'll get a chance to continue that progression in Year 4. Rose, 18-15 in his three-year tenure after his Pirates went 7-4 this past season, will return to the HU sideline in 2012.

"Coach Rose will definitely be back next year," Hampton athletic director Keshia Campbell said Tuesday. "I feel confident that he'll take the program in the right direction." Rose will once again work on a one-year contract.

"At this point, there haven't been any further discussions regarding any extensions," Campbell said. Rose, an 18-year Pirates assistant who was promoted to head coach in 2009, went 5-6 in his first season, 6-5 in his second and 7-4 in 2011.
