Sources: FAMU targeting Prairie View A&M coach Willie Simmons for next head coach

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Per multiple sources close to FAMU's athletic program, the athletic department has targeted Prairie View A&M head coach Willie Simmons as the Rattlers' next head football coach.

An announcement could come as soon as Friday, per a source.

At the very least, interim head coach Edwin Pata will not be FAMU's next head coach. Pata on Wednesday informed the team he wasn't being considered to be the Rattlers next head coach.

"These folks really didn’t consider Coach Pata as a head coach... what kinda BS is that?" FAMU cornerback Orlando McKinley tweeted Wednesday night.

Simmons has been the head coach at Prairie View A&M for the past three seasons and has complied 21-11 overall record at the helm. His first season was by far his best. He led the Panthers to an 8-2 overall season with an 8-1 record in the SWAC.
