Second-year coach Wood looks to bring FAMU ‘back into the competition’
MIAMI, Florida -- Florida A&M was slow out of the gates in 2015 in coach Alex Wood’s first season.
The Rattlers were slow to end the season, as well. A 1-10 season was not what he envisioned, but now Wood has a glimpse of where his team needs to improve.
And with Florida A&M on a streak of four consecutive losing seasons — a combined 11-35 record — Wood is eyeing a quick turnaround in his second season.
“People are anxious,” Wood said. “They’re always asking ‘When are you going to get back?’ because they want us in these games. … That’s our job: To get us back into the competition so it’s exciting football for the MEAC and for FAMU football.”
But after last season, it looks like the Rattlers might still be at least another year away from being in the thick of the competition.
