GRAMBLING — North Carolina Central coach Rod Broadway will be Grambling State’s ninth head football coach.
School officials are at work on a news release announcing the hire, to be issued simultaneously with NCCU.
Detroit Lions assistant Charles “Kippy” Brown withdrew from the search earlier today, then Alabama A&M coach Anthony Jones was informed that the school would offer the job to someone else. Those stories were also first reported at www.thenewsstar.com.
That left Grambling volunteer assistant Albert Lewis, a four-time Pro Bowl defensive back, as the only other remaining finalist.
He did not comment this afternoon, and said he would not until an official announcement is made.
Details on a news conference to introduce Broadway were also still to come. Grambling president Horace Judson is out of town, and not scheduled to return until Friday night. That could push the announcing event to Monday.
