TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Willie Simmons’ fist month at Florida A&M has been the expected whirlwind.That’s how life rolls in a new job accompanied by homecoming euphoria.
“Being from here is one thing, but actually being on campus and in a working capacity is something totally different,” the Rattlers’ head football coach said Friday.
Buoyed by characteristic optimism and unbridled faith, Simmons is determined to rebuild the Rattlers’ struggling football program and introduce a culture woven in consistency. One day and thread at a time.
Take this week, for example.
Simmons – the Tallahassee native and former Quincy Shanks star quarterback – held his first team meeting last Sunday as players returned from the holidays.
Simmons, 37, had the opportunity to meet players, put names and faces together, and talk about his philosophy that stresses accountability – academically, athletically, socially and spiritually.
