You got any opinion or info on Willie Simmons at FAMU?
I just like that he has almost 10 years being a head coach, coaches QBs, has recruiting ties in the south, and wins. Plus he only makes $300k and is still young for a HC.I know of him but don’t know him. Ralph Street is close with him. They coached at three straight schools together.
The jump from HBCU head coach to FBS head coach is a big one that doesn’t usually happen. Deion, of course, and Jay Hopson are the only two I can think of in the past 20 years.
Let him go to Duke for a year as RB coach then we can call him... We love P5 RB coaches.Simmons has been offered the RB job at Duke. FAMU will try and match/beat the financial offer. Probably not a good indication if we offered a guy whose best option is the Duke RB job.
I see him as a winner and would take the shot based on what he’s accomplished. A guess there are a lot of the people in the profession that, like you, discount his record because of where he coaches. 👀Simmons has been offered the RB job at Duke.

There are major differences between being a head coach at an HBCU compared with a Duke.there are a lot of the people in the profession that, like you, discount his record because of where he coaches. 👀
