FAMU coach Alex Wood talks media policy, end-of-season Celebration Bowl

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Florida A&M head coach Alex Wood still has changes he's implementing for the Rattlers, and he's starting with the way the team interacts with the media.

Practices are now closed after the first 10 minutes and players can't speak to the media without permission from both him and the university's sports information department. Assistant coaches, aside from the offensive and defensive coordinators, are off-limits.

Wood said moving forward, he will "absolutely" be the voice of the Rattlers.

"Without question, we want one message going forward," he said.

"I think to stay on-message and stay on-script, so to speak, it's easier when it's controlled by one. We won't expose our coaches or our players without some prior notice. I don't want coaches to just get grabbed and start things. We talk about it, but things happen."
