ALBANY, Georgia — Saturday will serve as a different type of homecoming for the Albany State Rams as they welcome the visiting Benedict Tigers and former ASU head coach James “Mike” White back to the Albany State University Coliseum.After a standout career where he earned SIAC Player of the Year and All-American honors, White was named to the coaching staff in 1984. He was later named head coach and spent 15 seasons leading the Rams where he guided the team to conference titles in 2003-06, 2010 and 2013.
He was also named SIAC Coach of the Year five times and before he left for Benedict, put together a team that captured an SIAC East Division championship and came up just short of an SIAC title last year. He ended his tenure with a 112-51 (.687) record.
It hasn’t been smooth for White as his Tigers continue to go through their rebuilding project. Benedict is still searching for its first win of the season and is coming off a 42-10 beating at the hands of Morehouse College.
