The Texas Southern Board of Regents is set to meet on Thursday at 8 am to finalize the hiring of a new football coach, with sources indicating that former Alcorn State coach Fred McNair is expected to be appointed. The decision has been delayed for over a week due to some board members favoring former player Andre Johnson. However, recent developments have seen the Board of Regents postpone the decision once more. Meanwhile, UTEP has announced the hiring of Chad Johnson as the Director of Texas Recruiting. The Texas Southern head coaching position remains vacant after more than five weeks, leading to speculation and anticipation within the HBCU community.
