Damn rey and my father ran track at famu. Even though rey was the olympian he would talk about my pops like he was a god among man in foot ball and track. ALways confused me.
The year rey came to famu as coach I was going into my last year. I never ran under him because Ineeded to start concentrating on grades. But his second year coaching he took the teack and one the conference championships, 4x1 made it to nationals and few other accomplishments. He won the conference champs a few more times during the years I think. HE recruited some great athletes and took them to some fast times, Sheldon Morant (jamaica) and Chris Hargrett to name a few, Plus a ton of other athletes who never grades the grades right. The past few years they cut the track budget. No money for uniforms shoes or to recruit. Rey from what I hear is also coaching Walt Dix now. Boy was that a bad decision in my opinion. I think that the AD just had it out for him. I think it was the same situation for Maicel money wise.
Just watch! The AD will do a nationwide search and discover that the most ‘qualified candidates’ are his associates!
