RISON REPLACED AS HEAD FOOTBALL COACH AT NCCU
Bullock Elevated to Interim Head Coach for the Remainder of the Season
DURHAM, N.C. - Following back-to-back 4-7 seasons and a disappointing 2-4 start to the 2010 campaign, Mose Rison has been replaced as head football coach at North Carolina Central University. Assistant head coach Darryl Bullock will serve as interim head coach for the remainder of the season.
"While we appreciate the passion and commitment that Coach Rison has shown, we feel at this time that a change in the leadership and command of our football program is needed," said NCCU Director of Athletics Dr. Ingrid Wicker-McCree.
"As we have moved through the Division I transition process, we have established high expectations for our football program to become one of the best in the MEAC," Wicker-McCree said. "However, we must continue to improve in all aspects of the football program in order to reach those aspirations. We will begin the process to hire our next head football coach immediately, with a goal of having someone in place by the beginning of next year (January 2011)."
Rison will be reassigned to another position within the athletics department. He has one year remaining on his current contract.
Bullock is in his fourth season as assistant head coach and offensive line coach at NCCU.
The Eagles host undefeated MEAC foe Bethune-Cookman University on Saturday (Oct. 23) at 2 p.m.

MEDIA NOTE:
- Tuesday's regularly-scheduled NCCU weekly football press conference will not be held on Oct. 19, in an effort to allow the coaching staff to prepare for the upcoming contest.
- Interim head coach Darryl Bullock will participate in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference weekly teleconference on Tuesday morning. NCCU's time slot is 10:23 a.m., but the teleconference often runs ahead of schedule, so members of the media are advised to call at least 10 minutes prior to the scheduled time. Credible media outlets may access the teleconference via telephone by calling (888) 599-8685. Dial confirmation code 2682549 to reach the operator and join the conference.
