TSU Tigers Coach Rod ReedEven with Calvin McNairl no longer in the way, senior Dominic Grooms won't simply step in as Tennessee State's starting quarterback. First-year Coach Rod Reed said Grooms, who backed up McNairl last year, must prove he possesses a boldness Reed considers necessary to lead the offense.
"I want to see him show that he has a take-charge attitude,'' Reed said Monday on TSU's first day of practice. "I want him to go out there and say, 'This is my offense and I'm going to run it.' I want to see him with a little attitude, with a chip on his shoulder that lets everybody know he's going to be the man to take this offense to the next level."
Grooms played enough last season to prove to Reed, the defensive coordinator in 2009, that he can replace McNairl, who moved to receiver in the spring. Grooms started three games when McNairl was injured and played in another. He completed 29 of 66 passes for 279 yards, with four interceptions and no touchdowns.
