Offensive Coordinator Mark Orlando Walks Away From Texas Southern for Alabama State

HOUSTON, Texas -- Texas Southern University head football coach Darrell Asberry has announced that recently hired Offensive Coordinator Mark Orlando has resigned effective immediately to accept a similar position at Alabama State University.

"Coach Orlando has informed me of his decision to join the Alabama State football coaching staff," said Asberry. "We wish him well and we'll begin the process of identifying someone to fill the now vacant position."

Asberry hopes to name a new Offensive Coordinator within the upcoming weeks.

"We hope to move quickly in the naming of our next Offensive Coordinator," said Asberry. "There are several that I have in mind which should expedite the process of bringing in a qualified replacement."

NOTE: Coach Mark Orlando is one of the six named finalist for the Florida A&M University head football coach vacancy.  Is Orlando taking himself out of the running for the Rattlers top position or increasing his personal economic stimulus package?  An educated guess says the short list now consists of: Joker Phillips, Corey Fuller, Tony Samuels, EJ Junior and Charlie Weatherbie.  Just pick a winner, FAMU!
