TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - FAMU's football program has been working to move forward after former Athletic Director Kellen Winslow's resignation following his firing of Coach Earl Holmes during homecoming week in 2014.
One of the ways the school has done this was through the appointment of Alex Wood, the former Interim Head Coach at the State University of New York, Buffalo.
Now Coach Wood is here and he is ready to work, even after the passing of Interim Athletic Director Nelson Townsend on Thursday, January 8, 2014.
Coach Wood joined WTXL Sunrise to talk about his goals for the 2015 season including the department's goal of getting all athletes to graduation day.
Wood also talked to us about his hopes that the FAMU community will join together in the wake of Townsend's death.
