UPDATE: Earl Holmes to be introduced as FAMU's head coach

 
TALLAHASSEE, Florida  --  4 P.M. UPDATE

Florida A&M is expected to introduce Earl Holmes as its next head football coach at a 6 p.m. press conference today at the Lawson Center.

Holmes emerged from a field of 23 other applicants to land his first job as a college head coach at his alma mater. He spent the last two weeks of this past season as acting head coach and has been running the day-to-day operations since.

Holmes, 39, was a finalist along with John Hendrick and John Eason.

Multiple sources had told the Democrat that Holmes and Hendrick were the two frontrunners before Holmes won the job. Holmes spent the past five seasons as defensive coordinator under former coach Joe Taylor, who retired with two games left in the 2012 season.
