DURHAM, North Carolina -- N.C. Central’s new head football coach will be Jerry Mack, wide receivers coach at South Alabama, university officials announced Thursday.“His energy during his interviews and how he articulated his vision, not just academics but everything,” Athletic Director Ingrid Wicker-McCree said. “His presence and how he’s been prepared professionally, that’s what you want for our young men and women. That type of knowledge.”
Mack, 33, who has no head coaching experience, will have the challenge of rebuilding a program after the firing of Henry Frazier III. He has also been an assistant at four other D-I programs: Jackson State, Central Arkansas, Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Memphis, dating back to 2006. Mack was offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Arkansas-Pine Bluff in 2010, where the offense ranked in the top 30 in the country at the Football Championship Subdivision level.
He spent two years at South Alabama, helping three individuals finish among the top five on the school’s season record lists for receptions and receiving yards.
