TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Florida A&M University has undergone wholesale changes within high-ranking positions of leadership in recent times.Among the major transitions of power include a university president (Dr. Larry Robinson) along with hiring an athletics director (Dr. John Eason) and football head coach (Willie Simmons).
Eason stepped into his role on Dec. 1 and was presented with the daunting task of re-establishing the program's credibility with fans, their peers in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) and the NCAA.
His first significant move took place on Dec. 12 with the selection of Simmons to lead the football team.
Throughout Eason's brief tenure, the Ocala native and former tight end who played under Jake Gaither in the late 1960s, has been busy sowing seeds with the vision of a fruitful harvest for FAMU.
These plans encompass increased revenue, upgraded facilities, soaring attendance figures and championship plaques to decorate the trophy case inside his office.
