Bethune-Cookman receives permission to talk to Tennessee State head football coach

DAYTONA BEACH, Florida -- Bethune-Cookman has received permission to talk to Tennessee State head football coach and former B-CU assistant Rod Reed about its vacant head coaching position, the Tennessean reported.

Reed told the Nashville newspaper that B-CU athletic director Lynn Thompson received permission from Tennessee State athletic director Teresa Phillips to talk to the Tigers’ coach. But Reed declined to say if he planned to speak to Thompson about the position.

Thompson told The News-Journal on Wednesday the Wildcats are “moving rapidly” to find a replacement for Brian Jenkins, who resigned Tuesday to take the head coaching job at Alabama State.

“Within the week, Bethune-Cookman will have a new head coach on board and working,” Thompson said.

Thompson said one of B-CU’s targets is a head coach at another school.
