ALBANY, Georgia — Dan Land still has his trademark smile.
He’s still the same approachable coach who is easy to talk to, and his players love him.
About the only thing different about Land this year is he’s the head football coach at Albany State instead of an assistant. Land took over, getting promoted to be the interim coach when longtime Albany State coach Mike White unexpectedly took the same job at SIAC rival Benedict at the end of the 2014 season.
Land vows that not much is going to change when the Rams open their 2015 season by playing host to Valdosta State Saturday night.
“We’re not trying to recreate the wheel here,” Land said. “All we did was took exactly what we had, that we know we’re good at, and just change some things that would best benefit us on defense and on offense. Normally on offense, we would do more offensive sets and on defense, what we’re doing now is more zone defense…making the quarterback read more.”
