GREENSBORO -- N.C. A&T athletics director Wheeler Brown said Tuesday he knows who he wants as the Aggies' next football coach. But here's the rub: State hiring guidelines prohibit him from announcing his decision until Jan. 6. Brown said he interviewed three candidates for the job -- interim coach George Ragsdale and two coaches from outside the program.
Brown declined to name the other two candidates. A source with knowledge of the search process who declined to be identified said one of those interviewed was Morgan State defensive coordinator Alonzo Lee, a former A&T assistant coach. "Unless I get another resume that really impresses me," Brown said, "I could be happy with one of the three as our coach." Asked if one candidate stood out over the other two, Brown said, "I believe so, yes." Neither Lee nor Ragsdale could be reached for comment Tuesday.

Happy New Year AggieNation! While you guys are sorting through the hiring process with suspects-- George Ragsdale, Alonzo Lee and the mystery man--Division II, North Alabama goes out and hire Terry Bowden for less than A&T paid Lee Fobbs. The former Auburn, Samford University and Salem College head coach is the son of Florida State coach Bobby Bowden and brings a 111-53-2 record to North Alabama, which finished the 2008 season 12-2 and reached the semifinals of the Division II playoffs.
Can't wait to see who Wheeler Brown selects that will make a winner out all of that great talent in Aggieland. Anything less than Prairie View head coach Henry Frazier III will be a huge disappointment. Please, no more trainees for the MEAC...
