TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL)-- The Board of Trustees at FAMU met yesterday and discussed the future of the school's football program.
According to the meeting's minutes, a search committee will gather today to review selection criteria and interview questions for those they're considering for the school's open head coaching position. They'll also reduce the pool of applicants for the head football coach position from 44 to five.
The five candidates will be interviewed by the committee via Skype and three finalists will be selected. The board members also said, President Elmira Mangum would be making the final decision on who to hire.
Also at the meeting, Kellen Winslow told the board he has raised $34,000 for the school's golf and tennis teams to compete in the spring.
It appears the Board did not discuss Winslow's future at the school, however, even after many faculty, alumni, and students expressed concern at the way he fired former head football coach Earl Holmes earlier this year.
Holmes was axed from the coaching staff in the middle of the school's homecoming week, just days before their homecoming game.
