Alcorn State, MS (Sports Network) - The four finalists for the Alcorn State
head football coach's position will be on campus Monday for interviews.
The university's search committee announced on Friday the four finalists are
Michael Armour, Fredrick Farrier, James Hopson and Todd McDaniel.
Armour is the offensive coordinator at the University of Northern Colorado and
was part of Alcorn State's staff from 2008 to early 2011.
Farrier, the head coach at Kentucky State from 2005-09, works for the State of
Kentucky in the Office of Employment and Training.
Hopson is the University of Memphis' defensive coordinator.
McDaniel is Alcorn State's defensive line coach and has served as interim
coach since December, when first-year head coach Melvin Spears Jr. was put on
administrative leave. Spears was later fired in February.
Alcorn State plans to announce the new head coach next Saturday following the
team's spring game.
The Braves finished 2-8 last year, including 1-8 in the Southwestern Athletic
Conference.
