Does anyone know if Del State released the list of finalist? They seem to be the only hbcu without a head coach. Will they promote EJ Junior since it’s so late.
Now that A&M is filled who are the finalist at Del State
- Thread starter Loyaldawg90
- Start date

Have you heard anything about finalist I know they said Maynor was but he is off the board now. I don’t hear much chatter about the job seems like they are low key or they don’t care about Football

I haven't heard anything. They barely fund their football program is what I hear.

Delaware State funds their football team. In fact, they have the biggest budget in the MEAC, period. They just have an administration that doesn’t value athletics anymore.
That ship sailed when why got hit with that title-IX lawsuit earlier this decade.

It’s really hard to believe they have the biggest budget cause they have a small stadium and seem to be no upgrades in facilities. Then they pulled the plug on Kenny Carter after what two years. They obviously had to be offering something good if they was looking to bring Maynor on board wonder what they was looking to pay him. At this late in the game Who would want to be the HC?

What the hell is going on in Dover? Anyone know where they are in selecting a coach?

I been asking that question I’ve heard Bowie St. coach and Rod Milstead. The obvious one was Maynor but they couldn’t hire him fast enough or the situation wasn’t right. One name that is interesting is Anthony Jones. They could also promote EJ Junior, it’s late in the recruiting game and signing day is 2 weeks away smh.
Yeah, I'm somewhat surprised that Damon Wilson wasn't picked up by anyone. I wonder what the overall interest level is with him. But given the way that things are lining up, I wouldn't be surprised if Wilson ends up at South Carolina State at the end of next year now that Pogue is leaving.

What are your thoughts on EJ Junior and Anthony Jones? If I’m Wilson I wait cause SC State is a better situation.

It may be hard to believe but it's true.

A few former DSU football players said over on the MEAC board that for some unforeseen reason, the outgoing coach is under contract until the end of this month and won't name a new coach until that contract expires. According to those insiders, the DSU administration doesn't want to pay multiple Head Coaches and their staffs.
This has been the case the past few hires, where the DSU admin purposely holds off from hiring a new coach until they finish paying the outgoing coach.
This tells me that DSU just isn't all that invested into football, which is weird as they spend well over $3 million dollars on the sport according to OPE.ED.GOV.

So with that information what coach do you think will leave his current school to join a program that’s non committal to Football. I mean that’s crazy they rather the players suffer than hire a coach they hired Carter January 21st the new coach won’t get his staff in place until mid to late February. Then they expect him to win, seems like a coach that’s not on a current team will be the only one willing to take over.
I don't know enough about EJ's body of work to comment, but I do believe Anthony Jones is worthy of consideration. And I think Morgan State missed out on the opportunity to hire him when they had the chance.

Those budgets are made up and DSU has heavy travel expenses!..

Jones has arguably been one of the better head coach candidates on the market this year.

Comegy is from this area and if he is still interested in coaching, he would be a good fit at DSU..and he is a much better coach than Jones

I would take Jones jones can do better with less. Comegy couldn’t and idk if he gets another FCS job from what happened at valley. Jones is a Baltimore guy

I agree jones would do great there possibility of having them in the meac championship game. But he will do great with less
Tigerpride
THE Logical ONE
yes AAMU is less but Comegy is more of a pure winner. Nobody can or will win at Valley.
Im thnking the next move for Comegy tho is to be a DC. He would also be a recruiting asset.

THE Logical ONE
Jones would not win at Del State.

You seem like a jones hater, hadn’t it been for Hicks high horse jones would still be at A&M. You can win at valley with a guy that’s all in for Football because the level of talent and Jucos in the state. Jones win games and comegy had all that talent at JSU and didn’t win the rings he should’ve won. Let’s not forget the white tiger and that defense alone with Rico Richardson. Comegy HC days may be over I think he is walking away from the game
