HAMPTON - Joe Taylor's long and successful tenure as Hampton University football coach is over. Taylor, HU's football coach the past 16 years, said Sunday that he has signed a contract to become the new head coach at Florida A&M.
A report published Saturday cited a source as saying Taylor had accepted the FAMU job. Taylor did not confirm the report until Sunday because he had not signed a contract.
FAMU will introduce Taylor as its coach during a press conference today. Taylor succeeds Rubin Carter, who was fired Nov. 20, three days after the Rattlers finished the 2007 season with a 3-8 record.

Wow! Taylor did a good job getting Hampton to be very successful. Did people see this coming or was it a surprise?

That these rules shall be as equal as prudential considerations will admit, will certainly be the aim of our legislatures, general and particular." --Thomas Jefferson, letter to Hugh White, 1801
