MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Alabama State will enter its season opener with special teams duties split among several coaches after placing special teams coordinator John Hendrick on paid administrative leave.Hendrick, the defensive ends coach and special teams coordinator for the Hornets, was placed on administrative leave for unspecified reasons Aug. 13. Head coach Reggie Barlow refused to go into specifics regarding Hendrick’s situation but left the door open for his return at the end of the 2013 season.
“Of course, you always think the world of all your coaches and respect them, but I think for us, I’m all about good chemistry and good vibes. And we ... had a situation where we had to not part ways ... but we just wanted to take a step back and look at our special teams area and give the other coaches some responsibility in that,” Barlow said. “Obviously, we’ve changed a bit here. But the foundation of what we believe in and how we operate is about the team and esprit de corps, working together in harmony. And if you can’t do that, then obviously you can’t work here.”
