Ex-B-CU football coach Wyatt to be named head coach at Edward Waters

JACKSONVILLE, Florida  -- Former Bethune-Cookman football coach Alvin Wyatt will be named the head coach at Edward Waters College next week, the Jacksonville school announced Thursday.

Wyatt, who had been the Tigers' defensive coordinator, was named interim coach on Oct. 22 after head coach Brad Bernard was fired. The Tigers, an NAIA team, finished 2-2 under Wyatt after losing their first seven games.



Wyatt, who won more games than any coach in B-CU history, will officially be announced the Edward Waters head coach at a press conference on Tuesday, the school announced. Wyatt will turn 66 on Dec. 13.

A Jacksonville native, Wyatt will become the Tigers' fourth head coach since they reinstated football in 2001. Wyatt was B-CU's head coach for 13 years, compiling a 90-54 record.
