Grambling State has kept Rod Broadway.
Details of a new deal to retain the first-year head football coach were not immediately available.




Broadway has just completed a turnaround 8-4 inaugural season at Grambling, highlighted by an appearance in Saturday’s Southwestern Athletic Conference Championship Game.

“We’re pleased Rod Broadway has chosen to remain head coach,” Grambling athletics director Troy Mathieu said tonight. “As he heads into year two, we hope to continue to build on the momentum of this season’s Western Division title.”

Broadway, at the end of the first season in a four-year deal at GSU, had been in talks over the past several days to take over the head coaching position at Florida A&M. He had also interviewed at Duke.

But all along Broadway insisted he was happy at Grambling.

"Nobody listened," Broadway said in a phone interview tonight. "Everybody had me doing this and doing that. They all had their own opinion. I've said all along that I think this is a good situation. You can win here."
