TSU Will Conduct National Search for Next Football Coach

HOUSTON, VA - Texas Southern University will conduct a national search to find its next football coach. However, TSU athletics director Charles McClelland told FOX 26 Sports interim head coach Kevin Ramsey is a candidate to retain the position on a permanent basis.

Ramsey, who had been the Tigers' defensive coordinator, replaced Johnnie Cole as head coach in April after Cole was fired because of allegations of NCAA rules violations on his watch. TSU won the SWAC Conference championship in 2010, the first outright conference title in the history of the program.

In 2011, under Ramsey, the Tigers were 4-7 overall, and finished last in the SWAC's Western division with a 2-7 record.
