I've always wondered why most of the called prime football players of today don't look at the predominately Black Colleges and University's the way they do the predominately White one's. I know the preception is that they have more coverage from the media and more T.V. exposure, but if the so called top players played for those black schools the media and exposure would come along with the dominance of the college football, basketball and track to name a few of what they excel in. With this said I would also like to know if the Black college coaches go after the top players or do they give up because the Division 1A school have them on their radar. If this is so please don't ever concide to that, and Black parents teach your children about the HBCU's along with the other Colleges and Universities.

Maybe someday you will return to Grambling and run this program. Good Luck and I hope God bless you and your family. Being a Gramblinite since 1967 it make me a little more critical than most. But, I understand we are a tough bunch fans to please and please don't take it personal, cuz we are just fans that want to win every game. We are a spoiled group, to say the least.

I think this may be one of those rare moments where we had it in our laps to see, hear, and read about up close and personal. Just because wants to leave doesn't mean it's a bad thing. Once you coach at Grambling, that's it, everybody starts watching and monitoring your progress. Coaching at "THE ICON" carries alot of weight in the world of college football! Savvy "old lion", that he is and has proven himself 3 winning seasons in a row, no home losses,2 Bayou Classics, SWAC Championship and a NCAA Black College Nat'l Championship. I pray for many more to come! Mikebigg, your right! I think this may be one of those rare moments where we had it in our laps to see, hear, and read about up close and personal.

But it's not necessarily a bad thing for either side. Coach Spady seems to be a smart and articulate young coach who I'm sure will go on to do good things in his professeion. Coach B'way is a saavy "old lion" and understands that the bottom line is about winning. In fact, I think he handled it well in regard to keeping this in-house. However, I "read into" the fact that Coach Spady was looking to relocate and move on based on the interviews he was having with Grand Valley, Nichols, etc. Glad it worked out for all concerned!
