Blount out as DSU football coach


DOVER, Delaware -- Once again, Delaware State University must start over in its ongoing quest to field a successful football program.

That message was clear in Monday’s announcement that Kermit Blount’s contract as Delaware State football coach is not being renewed, ending his four-year tenure.

With a winning overall record in 2012 and over-.500 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference marks in 2012 and 2013, the Hornets appeared to be making progress.

However, DSU slipped to 2-6 in the league and 2-10 overall in 2014, which finished with a 69-7 drubbing at Morgan State. That was Delaware State’s fifth straight loss.

Blount, 56, guided the Hornets to a 16-29 record, including 13-19 in the MEAC. He was unavailable for comment.
