MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Donald Hill-Eley would love to stay at Alabama State beyond the Turkey Day Classic.“Definitely,” said Hill-Eley when asked during Monday’s SWAC coaches’ teleconference if he wanted to be ASU’s head coach next season. “It’s an opening and I’m a head coach that’s available. So why not?
Hill-Eley is 2-0 as ASU’s interim head coach since replacing Brian Jenkins, who was fired after an 0-5 start this season. Coming off a 21-16 win over Alabama A&M in the Magic City Classic last week, the Hornets (2-5, 2-2 SWAC) look to remain undefeated under Hill-Eley when they play Saturday at Jackson State (1-7, 1-3).
“Any time you have a coaching change in the middle of the season, there’s a lot of things that go into it that can be negative, but he has turned everything positive,” Jackson State coach Tony Hughes said about Hill-Eley. “The kids are playing hard.”
Jenkins hired Hill-Eley, a longtime head coach at Morgan State (2002-13), in 2015 to coach wide receivers after one season at Norfolk State where he coached the same position and served as associate head coach.
