FAIRFIELD, Alabama -- Miles College football coach Reginald Ruffin is wearing a second hat these days after President George French Jr. named him the school’s director of athletics.
“I’m pulling those double duties right now,” Ruffin said. “Everybody’s not going to coach forever, and the president felt like I had a lot of leadership when it came to administrative-type stuff. He said, ‘I think it’s time for me to make that transition for you to that role.’”
Alabama NewsCenter is taking a tour of college football programs in the state as a precursor to the fast-approaching season. Next up is Miles College.
French gave Ruffin his first shot at being a college head football coach when they were both at Tuskegee University. Now he’s made him an AD while keeping Ruffin as the man in charge of the Golden Bears football program, which went 6-4 last season.
The 2017 season was the continuation of a difficult time for Ruffin and Miles. After Ruffin lost his wife to cancer, defensive line coach Tony Ogelsby lost his battle to that disease as well. And another assistant coach’s child died.
