Q&A with Alabama State football coach Donald Hill-Eley

MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Donald Hill-Eley is getting ready for his first full season as Alabama State football coach.

Hill-Eley led the Hornets to a 5-1 record after taking over for former coach Brian Jenkins, who was fired last October after posing a 10-17 record in two-plus seasons.

ASU is coming off back-to-back losing seasons following six consecutive winning seasons.

Hill-Eley spent 12 seasons as head coach at Morgan State from 2002-13, winning 59 games and earning Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference coach of the year honors in 2002.

With preseason camp around the corner and the Labor Day Classic against Tuskegee just weeks away, the Advertiser spent a few minutes with Hill-Eley following Monday's news conference to talk about the upcoming season.

The season is fast approaching. How has the program progressed since you took over last fall?
