Search committee for next FAMU head football coach named, players want Pata

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- The process that’ll end with the selection of Florida A&M’s next head football coach is officially underway.

A nine-person search committee came together Tuesday night and is set to meet again next week, said interim Athletic Director John Eason.

The committee members are: Eason, former FAMU trustee Spurgeon McWilliams, FAMU National Alumni Association President Lt. Col. Gregory Clark, Rattler Boosters Treasurer Selvin Cobb, FAMU professor Ebenezer Oriaku, FAMU linebacker Elijah Richardson, 220 Quarterback Club President Eddie Jackson, SBI Dean Shawnta Friday-Stroud and FAMU’s director of track and field Darlene Moore.

Eason said there’s no timeline to hire the next head coach. Outgoing Athletic Director Milton Overton Jr. said the job will be posted Thursday.

Eason officially starts Friday.

“No timeline,” Eason said. “I want to make sure that I get the right person. I don’t want to rush through the process. Teams are still playing. A lot of Power Five schools are making changes right now. I want to let that dust settle and then go from there.
