FAMU's special teams coach Vasquez resigns

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Going out after one of the worst performances by his unit isn't the way special teams' coach Juan Vasquez wanted to leave the FAMU football team.

But on Monday, two days after two special teams' mistakes helped Coastal Carolina pull out a 48-3 victory in FAMU's home opener, Vasquez said he's resigned. He met with head coach Earl Holmes on Sunday to give him a two-week notice, Vasquez said.

Following the loss on Saturday, Holmes said he was going to make adjustment in his coaching staff, but he said he didn't fire Vasquez.

"I had some opportunities came up that were beneficial to me and I thought that was the best decision for me to make," Vasquez said. "It had nothing to do with coach Holmes or the team. It's just that the opportunity came up in the middle of the football season."
