TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- By now everybody knows about all the things that went wrong in Earl Holmes' first year as head football coach at FAMU.He had two coaches out, either recovering from an illness or the death of a relative during a six-week period. Then, running back coach Elijah Williams quit the job to handle a family matter midway through the season. Quarterback Damien Fleming, in the midst of a less-than-spectacular season, suffered a season-ending foot injury.
And, who could forget the foul up with the sidelines headsets that were so inadequate that they malfunctioned for almost an entire game? Go ahead, laugh because it seems funnier than it is to understand.
No matter how Holmes spins it, fans take those types of things as excuses for losing. Especially when expectations were for a season better than 3-9.
