TALLAHASSEE, Florida  -- Kellen Winslow, a NFL Hall of Famer, is not the most popular man in Tallahassee right now.

Not when it comes to some of the things that he's said and the moves he's made this week, as the new athletic director at FAMU.

He's fired coaches. He's suspended the men's tennis and golf teams, reducing athletics at FAMU to the bare minimum necessary to maintain Division I status in the NCAA.

But he insisted that the changes are necessary. He's cutting cost and trying to restructure an athletic department that is in over its head financially.

It's hard to imagine that Winslow is done yet if he is going to do all that he said has to be done.
