Howard University fires football coach Carey Bailey

Carey Bailey era ends at 8-36, 2-30 MEAC.

Howard University fired football coach Carey Bailey on Monday, according to a source who requested anonymity because details of the financial settlement are still being worked out. Bailey, who just completed his fourth season, has two years remaining on his contract.

The firing was the first order of business for Howard's new athletic director, Louis "Skip" Perkins, who started at the school Monday. Perkins, who spent the previous three years in the same position at Arkansas-Pine Bluff, can immediately put his imprint on Howard's signature sport.

One of Perkins's first hires at UAPB in 2007 was former Washington Redskins linebacker Monte Coleman as football coach.
