TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- A search committee that will help identify FAMU’s next head football coach will begin its work on Friday, but at least one member of the school’s Board of Trustees said Wednesday that the process is taking too long.
Spurgeon McWilliams, vice chairman of the BOT, suggested that athletic director Derek Horne and interim president Larry Robinson take control of hiring the man who will replace Joe Taylor, who retired from coaching college football a month ago.
McWilliams said forming a committee, which will include students and faculty, would be wasting time.
“We don’t need a group of students and faculty members sitting around trying to decide who is going to be the next coach,” McWilliams said during a break at Wednesday’s meeting. “This is an important decision because the football coach drives the whole economic situation for the athletic program. Those two people should have made the decision by now.”
