Barlow compiled a 49-42 record in eight seasons as head coach, leading the Hornets to the 2010 SWAC Eastern Division title. The Hornets posted a 7-5 record in 2014.

“We thank Coach Barlow for his contributions to Alabama State University, as a student-athlete, assistant coach, and head coach,” Alabama State University President Dr. Gwendolyn Boyd said.

A nationwide search will begin immediately. Antonio Bradford has been named interim head coach.
