TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- If the Alabama State Hornets are any indication it takes more than a coaching wiz to turn a program around.Brian Jenkins, who went 46-14 while at Bethune Cookman has yet to win a game in three tries at ASU.
Texas certainly has one of America’s most outstanding coaches for building programs in Charlie Strong. Before Texas he took Louisville from nowheresville to being a conference contender. In his second year at Texas his team continued to struggle until . . . until they found a quarterback, who could consistently make big plays and pose a threat.
Before new athletic director Milton Overton arrived on campus, head coach Alex Wood had already begun to follow the motto of “Success in the classroom, on the field, and then in life.” There are not that many sports programs anywhere as genuinely committed. He didn’t arrive in time to recruit and relied on the interim head coach for help in bringing in a recruiting class. That meant he didn’t have time to evaluate the team and recruit based on need.
