Kentucky State Fires Football Coaching Staff

FRANKFORT, Kentucky -- Kentucky State University fired head football coach Josh Dean and the entire coaching staff Monday.

“KSU is going in a new direction of all things excellence and that includes football,” KSU Chief of Operations Dr. Candice Love Jackson said. “We are at the interview stage, and a new coach will be named shortly.”

Dean had an 11-19 record over three seasons as head coach. Dean came to KSU as an assistant coach before the 2012 football season after serving as a defensive assistant coach at Fort Valley State University.

KSU finished this season with a 3-7 record. The Thorobreds finished third in the SIAC West division at 2-3 and ended the season with a 34-7 victory over Stillman College Saturday.

“We are looking for a capable and competent coach who understands football from both sides of the ball — offensively and defensively,” Jackson said. “We are looking for somebody who has an experienced track record of having been successful at building and rebuilding teams.
