Résumés flooding in for ASU OC position

ALBANY, Georgia  — Almost the moment news broke that Albany State offensive coordinator Uyl Joyner was leaving the Rams to accept a similar position at Dougherty High, ASU coach Mike White was inundated with interest.

 

“As soon as that article was in the paper, I started getting tons of interest,” White said, referring to The Herald’s article on Friday announcing Joyner’s departure. “But we haven’t narrowed anything down yet.”

 

Dozens of résumés are in the hands of White, but he said it could be weeks before Joyner’s successor is named.

 

“There really isn’t a leading candidate right now,” he said. “There really isn’t a certain way to do this. You just have to look at what you have and what is out there.”

 

Sources told The Herald that former ASU offensive coordinator Steve Smith was a possible candidate, but White said on Tuesday that Smith, who left the Rams two years ago to accept a job at Division I Tennessee State, isn’t currently in the picture.
