MAYNOR NEW WSSU COACH: Connell
Maynor, a veteran with more than 20 years of football experience both as
a player and coach, was named Tuesday as the ninth head
football coach at Winston-Salem State.
Maynor, 40, a former standout quarterback at both WSSU and North Carolina A&T, has spent the last ten years on the staff at Fayetteville State, most recently as offensive coordinator of the 2009 CIAA champion Broncos. Maynor also served as the Offensive Coordinator for the Arena Football League's Philadelphia Soul from 2006-2008 and helped lead the Soul to the 2008 Arena Bowl World Championship.
He was the starting quarterback for WSSU's 1987 CIAA championship team under then head coach and incoming WSSU Athletic Director Bill Hayes. He then followed Hayes to A&T and helped lead the Aggies to the 1991 MEAC title. He was first team all-MEAC in 1990 and 1991 and league offensive player of the year in '91.
A 1995 graduate of NC A&T, he replaces Kermit Blount who served 17 years as WSSU's head coach.
