MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- The day before Alabama State officially removed his interim tag Thursday, Donald Hill-Eley found out just how much the Hornets wanted him to stay.
“I learned that the players had got together and did a petition on my behalf, and I didn’t know about it,” Hill-Eley said.
The Hornets have the guy who brought them together after an 0-5 start and the firing of Brian Jenkins.
“He’s got everything a head coach should have,” said ASU senior left guard Edward Sanders, who is graduating Friday with a degree in criminal justice. “He’s that guy.”
Alabama State has the guy who went 5-1 as an interim with the loss coming to repeat SWAC champion Grambling. Now ASU believes it has a coach who can lead it to a conference championship sooner than later.
“It just warms your heart when you right by people and people stand up to do right by you,” Hill-Eley continued. “Those guys, I love each one of them and they love me and through that, we’ll work and do everything we can to lead this place to victories."
