BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- Southern University’s search for a new football coach is down to two.
And the two remaining finalists have already interviewed for the job.
Brian Jenkins, the Bethune-Cookman coach who had perhaps the strongest résumé of the three finalists, is no longer in the running. SU Athletic Director William Broussard confirmed Wednesday night that Jenkins will not come to campus Thursday for is face-to-face interview as originally scheduled.
That leaves two finalists: James Spady, the offensive tackles and tight ends coach at Nevada and a former offensive coordinator at Grambling; and Dawson Odums, the interim head coach at SU, the man who led the Jaguars to a 4-5 record in their final nine games this season.
Broussard said he still intends to present his final choice to the SU System Board of Supervisors at their meeting Friday.
“Thursday, in lieu of the interview, we now give ourselves a few hours’ head start, instead of going into what would be very late night. ... We’re going to take more time Thursday to evaluate,” Broussard said.
