NORMAL, Alabama -- Connell Maynor dominated the CIAA when he was head coach of Winston-Salem State, then he had mild success in the MEAC the last four seasons as head coach at Hampton.

Now, Maynor will try another conference, the SWAC.

According to multiple sources Maynor, 48, will be named the head coach at Alabama A&M later today.

Maynor was also in the running for the vacant Delaware State job but going to a new conference could be beneficial.

Maynor and his wife, Meryl, along with their daughter, Nicole, have been living in Kernersville. Nicole, who is a senior in high school, is going to N.C. A&T this fall.

According to sources, Jason Mai and Duane Taylor, who were both on WSSU’s staff when Maynor was coach here, could likely land on Maynor’s staff at Alabama A&M. Both were also on his staff at Hampton.
