Lane:  Two Coaches Fired, One Promoted

One of the most historical black colleges in the nation remains in a state of flux when it comes to their athletic department.  Controversy continues to circle the Dragons of Lane College, as once again there is a changing of the guard.  

Tuesday, Lane announced the dismissal of Head Football Coach Dearrion Snead.  Snead was introduced as Athletic Director and Head Football Coach just seven months ago.

Also, Assistant Coach Leon Gray has been let go.  The College says the firings were prompted after actions that “directly affected the academic integrity of the College.”  The school says the two deliberately altered documents for a prospective student before submitting them to the Admissions Office.  

Snead was let go before ever coaching a game for the Dragons.

Former Special Teams Coach Trent Boykin has been promoted to Head Coach.  Boykin says you can expect him to be a hands on leader.
