Pretty disparaging remarks by the head coach regarding his team's leaders...
Woodard said the four players who had been captains through the season's first eight games have been fired and he will pick four captains on a game-by-game basis.
"I didn't think they were doing a good job with it, so I fired them," Woodard said. "I said, 'You all have an opportunity to be a captain this week. But it's going to be based on the week's work.' I'll make that decision on Saturday. That's the way we're going to do it the rest of this year."
The previous captains were quarterback Andre Bevil, wide receiver J.J. Hayes, defensive end Jacody Coleman and linebacker Johnathan Ekpe, all juniors. Last week's captains were Prewitt, center Kyle Gillam, defensive back Branden Thomas and defensive end Jesse Dickson. All are freshmen.
"You've got to lead by example," Woodard said. "You can't be saying you're going to be on time if you're late. You can't be saying, 'Hustle,' if you're the one dogging. You can't be saying, 'Have a great attitude,' if your attitude is poor."
