Alabama A&M hires Albany State assistant, SWAC legend Willie Totten as QB coach

Coach Willie Totten
HUNTSVILLE, Alabama  -- News of Alabama A&M head football coach James Spady's latest hiring has broken.

The former Nevada assistant acquired the services of one of the greatest signal-callers in the history of the SWAC.  The Albany Herald reports Division II Albany St. assistant Willie Totten is leaving to become the Bulldogs' quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator. 
 
Nicknamed "Satellite", Totten played his college ball at Mississippi Valley State, where he set more than 50 Division I-AA records, now FCS, as a quarterback, playing alongside NFL great wide receiver Jerry Rice in the early 1980s.
 
 "That's an offense I have always wanted to know more about," Totten told the Herald. "(Spady) wants me seriously involved with the passing game and the quarterback and to really understand the Pistol. I am excited about running that and also bringing my own style in."
