DURHAM, North Carolina — N.C. Central football coach Henry Frazier III is among six finalists who could emerge as director of athletics at Prairie View A&M University in Texas, where he coached before coming to Durham.Each finalist has been given a date to share his or her vision for Prairie View athletics at open forums with alumni, students, faculty, staff and the general public, and Frazier is scheduled to make his case during a June 6 return to the campus where he reversed the fortunes of what had been a miserable football program.
“I have had the good fortune of not just serving as a head football coach, but also the CEO of a two impressive multi-million dollar football programs,” Frazier said. “This combined with my experience and education as a doctoral candidate afford me many opportunities in higher education. I have high career aspirations and have drawn administrative interest many times in the past. While I am extremely happy leading the NCCU football program, this opportunity is of interest to me and I decided to pursue it. I feel honored to be thought of as a leader in higher education and to have the support of NCCU.”
No hard feelings, NCCU athletics director Ingrid Wicker-McCree said.
