Brian Jenkins introduced as new ASU coach, says he's excited to be in the 'football powerhouse' of Alabama

MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- In his introduction Wednesday as the new football coach at Alabama State University, Brian Jenkins said the Hornets program currently has the talent and opportunities to win at a high level.
"We already have enough in place to succeed," Jenkins said. "There is work that has to be done, but the opportunities are there."
Jenkins, 43, comes from Bethune-Cookman, an FCS program in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) where he compiled a 34-6 conference record and won two HBCU national titles; he replaces fired head coach Reggie Barlow. (It was announced on Nov. 24 that the school's Board of Trustees would not renew Barlow's contract.)
Jenkins recognized Barlow's contributions during the press conference, but also said that he would make some foundational changes.
