MIDWAY, Florida -- Earl Holmes told a packed room here Tuesday night that he has some extremely high aspirations for the Florida A&M football program.
As he has done numerous times during a fund-raising tour over the past month, Holmes also pressed for financial support to help him and his staff compete in recruiting the best athletes.
But while his appeal had a familiar tone during the event at Tri-Eagles headquarters, the first-year head coach offered some of his strongest comments yet about what kind of team he plans to produce and what type of athletes he expects to recruit.
“You can’t give me a linebacker who has one leg shorter than the other,” Holmes told a group of supporters. “I don’t want those guys. I want what Nick Saban is getting. I want what Jimbo Fisher is getting. And I want what Urban Meyer is getting. If they need those kids to win championships, so does Coach Holmes.”
