There were a host of coaching changes before the 2014 season that created tremendous competitive balance within the conference.
In the offseason, only two head coaches — Reggie Barlow at Alabama State and Heishma Northern at Prairie View — were replaced.
There figures to be stability this season, although a few coaches will be under fire as the year progresses.
