Former ASU coach Barlow accepts coaching job

COLUMBUS, Georgia -- Former Alabama State University football coach Reggie Barlow has agreed in principle to become the head coach at Carver High School in Columbus, Ga.

Barlow confirmed the agreement through a text message Thursday evening but said the job will not been formally offered until after the holiday break.

Barlow, who was fired at ASU in Nov. 2014, will have lofty expectations to meet in his new gig. Carver’s most recent head coach, Joe Kegler, resigned after compiling a 28-7 record in three seasons but failing to move the team out of the early rounds of the Georgia state playoffs.

Kegler was following former coach Dell McGee, who went 85-12 in seven seasons, won region titles each of those years and won a state title in 2007. McGee left to become the running backs coach at Georgia Southern and served as the team’s interim head coach during its 31-point win over Bowling Green in Mobile’s Go Daddy Bowl last week.
