A new stamp being putting on a whopping 24 schools'HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- Nearly one-fifth of FCS programs — 24 in all — have changed their head coach since the start of the 2017 season.
Some changes were expected, others weren’t, but many of the programs have come away pleased to have the new coach in charge.
Only four of the programs finished in the final Athlon FCS Power Poll, so most need significant improvement moving forward.
Here’s a quick assessment of the coaching changes:
Smartest Hire: Eric Dooley, Prairie View A&M
In an attempt to get over the top in the highly competitive SWAC West Division, the Panthers wisely reached across the conference to hire Dooley away from Grambling State. Dooley, a Grambling grad, has been a part of seven SWAC championship teams and coached for 21 years in the conference. It’s a big loss for Grambling and an even bigger gain for Prairie View.
