WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- It’s getting down to the wire as to who the next football coach will be at Johnson C. Smith but Kermit Blount, the all-time leader in wins at WSSU, is still a candidate.Blount appears to be among the final two for the job along with Adrian Jones, an assistant coach at N.C. Central. As somebody who has covered the CIAA and WSSU for 19 years you hear things - even if you aren’t looking to hear things. I’ve got it on good authority that Blount and Jones are the finalists.
It’s already been decided that J.C. Smith will not have spring football so whoever the new coach is will have his work cut out for them this fall.
I have no idea what might happen as to who J.C. Smith will select but knowing Blount for a long time I can say it wouldn’t be a bad place for him to wind up. I covered Blount for all but three of his 16 seasons at WSSU and if there’s one thing I learned is he is old school when it comes to discipline.
He graduated a lot of players, and didn’t cut corners when it came to running his program.
