JACKSON, Mississippi -- Jackson State University officials have confirmed that Rick Comegy is out as head football coach.

Nine members of the coaching staff were terminated Wednesday, JSU officials said. People were seen carrying boxes out of the building where the coaches have their offices.

Antonio Knight, who had served as JSU's recruiting coach, was the one staff member who remained. JSU officials announced Wednesday afternoon that Knight would serve as interim head football coach until a replacement for Comegy could be found.
