Carey Bailey will be announced Howard Univ's new football coach next Monday. The Bison did not renew the contract of Ray Petty after this past football season. Bailey has coaching experience at VMI, West Virginia, Middle Tennessee St and Louisiana-Lafayette...
Best of luck, Bison!

# State provides Howard coach; hoops recruiting
WEST VIRGINIA has produced some of the nation’s finest head football coaches.
Consider the field. You can start with contemporaries like Rich Rodriguez and Nick Saban and work your way back to Terry Bowden and Bob Pruett to John McKay, Ben Schwartzwalder and Fielding Yost.
And now another Mountain State native has an opportunity to carve a place among the greats. Morgantown native Carey Bailey has accepted the head coaching position at Howard University. (Consider this a scoop for his home state. The formal announcement is expected to come on Monday.)
In case you’ve forgotten, Bailey was a standout for Morgantown High who went on to play for Tennessee. He played in four bowls there, including the 1990 Cotton, ‘91 Sugar and ‘92 Fiesta Bowl.
Afterward, Bailey started his coaching career as a graduate assistant at WVU. That, however, was only a start. He worked with current Mountaineer assistant Bill Stewart at VMI. He moved to Louisiana-Lafayette and Middle Tennessee State.
