Texas Southern introduces new football coach Asberry

HOUSTON, Texas - Expectations will probably be modest for Darrell Asberry's first year as Texas Southern's football coach. But that didn't stop athletic director Charles McClelland from offering a lofty target during Tuesday's news conference at TSU's H&PE Arena.

"I'm not going to put too many expectations on coach Asberry, other than he has to win at least three (conference) championships during his tenure within a five-year time period," McClelland said jokingly before introducing Asberry as the program's 15th coach.

Three championships in five years might seem like a tall order, but not for someone with Asberry's background.

Asberry was hired by TSU on Dec. 22 after going 40-25 in six seasons at NCAA Division II Shaw. The Bears won three Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association championships during Asberry's last five seasons, making appearances in the Division II playoffs in 2007 and 2010.
