Florida A&M University president Dr. James Ammons has made it official with the immediate departure of athletic director Nelson Townsend and head football coach Rubin Carter. Mr. Townsend submitted his letter of resignation this morning in response to the request of the university president.
Dr. Ammons named professor Allen Bogan, a former Rattlers football coach, as interim athletic director.
Rubin Carter has refused to resign as the university will have to buy out his $250,000 contract. The president has informed Carter that the university will be moving in a new direction. All of Coach Carter's assistant coaches have been given letters indicating that they will be paid until February 2008, but they will not be retained.
The FAMU president will hold a press conference at 2:30 p.m. today to discuss the matter.
