Several coaches and approximately 28 players will not be returning to the Savannah State football team in 2010, according to head coach Robby Wells.
Wells said Eddie Johnson, the Tigers’ offensive coordinator last season, has been reassigned to defensive backs coach/recruiting coordinator…
SSU sports information director Opio Mashariki said 15 underclassmen from last season’s team “will not return to the team” and 13 players on the team “are currently not eligible to participate in spring football practice.”
SSU did not reveal the names of the 28 players in question.
For a team that regressed from five wins in 2008 to two victories in 2009, and is awaiting word on admittance in the MEAC conference, the Tigers are making all of the moves a serious DI program would make in an effort to get better. There is a lot on the line this season for the Tigers, particularly, if they can be the viable Georgia presence that the MEAC is looking for in football.
They may not be the toast of Division I independent football, bu they will be better. And it should be enough for all black college football fans to clamor for their entrance into the conference.
