SAVANNAH, Georgia -- Earnest Wilson remains optimistic about building a winning football program at Savannah State. He’s in it for the long haul like a marathon runner stepping up to the starting line.This isn’t the beginning for the Tigers’ third-year coach. Wilson now has two recruiting classes in place. He’s encouraged about his players’ improvement and strengthened by opposing coaches’ praise.
If ever there was a coach to run with the challenge of building a program at Savannah State, Wilson is the guy.
“I know I’m the right man for the job,” he said, after the season ended Saturday against South Carolina State.
The 2015 campaign had some incremental progress from the previous year — one more win, an offense producing four more points and 12 more offensive yards a game, a defense giving up 11 yards and three points less a game.
