“Today, coach George Small and his staff were dismissed after careful review and consideration of the direction of our football program”, said Todd in a news release announcing the action. “We feel that it is in the best interest of our football program to make this change. This allows the University to begin the process of finding Coach Small’s successor.”

In three years at A&T, Small had a record of 16-19. Ten of those victories came in his first season where he led the Aggies to a 10-3 mark and the school’s sixth MEAC championship.

His next two years produced identical 3-8 records, including disappointing losses to N.C. Central, Howard and South Carolina State this season.

A&T has announced the obligatory national search to “seek someone with extensive experience in the Division I-A ranks”.
