Top three AD candidates meet with FAMU committee (Video)

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Florida A&M President Elmira Mangum has three final candidates to choose from as the search for a new, permanent athletic director at the university nears its conclusion.

Interim athletic director Earl D'Wayne Robinson isn't in contention for the job. Instead, Eric McCurdy, Milton Overton Jr., and M. Dianne Murphy on Monday each met with a 10-person committee of FAMU staff members at Lee Hall.

The committee – which had three head coaches and the university's sports information director – asked questions about the candidates' reasons for wanting the job, their backgrounds and what they planned to bring to the table.

Mangum is expected to hire a new athletic director before the start of the fall semester.
