Today North Carolina Central University elevated assistant head football coach Darryl Bullock to lead the team for the remainder of the season.
Mose Rison, who coached the Eagles to back-to-back 4-7 seasons and a disappointing 2-4 start in 2010, will be reassigned to another position within the athletics department, the university said in a statement. He has one year remaining on his contract.
“While we appreciate the passion and commitment that Coach Rison has shown, we feel at this time that a change in the leadership and command of our football program is needed,” said NCCU Director of Athletics Dr. Ingrid Wicker-McCree.
“As we have moved through the Division I transition process, we have established high expectations for our football program to become one of the best in the MEAC,” Wicker-McCree said. “However, we must continue to improve in all aspects of the football program in order to reach those aspirations. We will begin the process to hire our next head football coach immediately, with a goal of having someone in place by the beginning of next year (January 2011).”
The Eagles host undefeated MEAC foe Bethune-Cookman University on Saturday (Oct. 23) at 2 p.m.
