TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Earl Holmes expects administrative approval within a few days on three of the six coaches he plans to hire before the Florida A&M football team begins spring practice later this month. Holmes confirmed that much Wednesday, but he wouldn’t say who they were or which positions they would fill.
On Monday, Holmes announced the firing of receivers coach Steven Jerry and secondary coach Jimmie Tyson and said he would complete his staff with assistants who understand his coaching philosophy.
Holmes had said repeatedly since he was hired two months ago that he wants his players to be physical, and he would have a staff that can coach them that way.
“They fit the mold of what we are trying to do here,” he said. “They understand what the philosophy is and they fit perfectly in that system. All I’m doing now is just trying to reach out and find some coaches who understand what I’m trying to get done.”
In addition to replacing Tyson and Jerry, Holmes also has to find position coaches to work with the running backs, offensive line, as well as a defensive coordinator.
