Albany State on hunt for new offensive coordinator

ALBANY, Georgia  — Albany State football coach Mike White is back where he was two years ago: in need of an offensive coordinator.

The job became vacant Wednesday when Uyl Joyner officially submitted his letter of resignation and accepted the offensive coordinator position at Dougherty High to coach alongside his brother, Corey, who is the head coach of the Trojans.

Joyner, a former star quarterback at both Dougherty and Albany State, coached at ASU for the past four years — his first two as the QBs coach and his last two as both the QBs coach and the offensive coordinator.

“I knew it was coming,” White told The Herald on Thursday. “I can’t say I didn’t expect it.” 

White, who is entering his 14th season as head coach at ASU and is sitting on 99 career wins, had talked with Joyner several times in the past month about a possible move to the high school ranks, but White didn’t get official word of the resignation until Wednesday afternoon.
