In a twist that could only happen in college football’s dramatic off-season, Fred McNair, the architect behind Alcorn State’s recent football success, is rumored to be taking his talents to Southern University. This news, first brought to light by radio host Reggie Flood, adds another layer to what’s already been a whirlwind few months for McNair.
End of an Era
Let’s rewind a bit. McNair, after a remarkable stint with Alcorn State, found himself at the heart of the coaching carousel. During his tenure with the Braves McNair amassed a 38-17 record in SWAC conference play and an overall 48-34 record. The team clinched four SWAC East Division titles and bagged two SWAC Championships under his guidance.
The off-season began with McNair’s departure from Alcorn State following a stalemate in contract negotiations. Then came the Texas Southern twist. McNair was pegged as the frontrunner for the vacancy, a move that seemed almost certain. But in a surprise turn, Texas Southern passed on McNair, opting for Cris Dishman instead.
New Beginnings
Now, the plot thickens with the latest buzz about McNair potentially joining Terrence Graves’ staff at Southern University. If true, this could be a game-changer for the Jaguars. Alcorn’s 6-1 finish down the stretch last year only underscores McNair’s coaching chops. His ability to maintain a high level of play and navigate the ups and downs of college football speaks to his resilience and tactical knowledge.
In conclusion, if McNair does end up at Southern University, it’ll be a major storyline in the SWAC this coming season. His journey from Alcorn State standout to a potential key figure in Southern University’s football program is a testament to the ever-changing, always exciting world of college football.
Stay tuned, as this story is far from over.
