Reports: MVSU targets ex-JSU coach Rick Comegy

ITTA BENA, Mississippi -- Jackson State football coach Rick Comegy may not be out of a job long.

Multiple reports have Comegy, who was fired in December by Jackson State, as the top candidate for the open Delta Devils job. Mississippi Valley State has scheduled a news conference for Jan. 21 to announce its next coach.

If Comegy is the next coach at MVSU, he would replace Karl Morgan, whose contract was not renewed after he finished with a 8-35 record in four seasons, including a 2-9 mark in 2013. Assistant head coach Terrance Graves now serves as the Delta Devils’ interim coach.

According to WXVT in Greenville, Comegy was one of four finalists for the position, along with former JSU offensive coordinator James Woody. Woody is currently the head coach at Benedict College in Columbia, S.C. Footballscoop.com reported Sunday that Comegy would land the MVSU post.
