If it wasn’t already, it looks like Grambling’s once-proud football program is in disarray. Just minutes after The News-Star reported that Grambling’s football players will sit out of practice for the second-straight day, Matt Vines of the Shreveport Times reports that interim head coach George Ragsdale has been fired.

Shortly after the planned time of the meeting, reporters on the scene were told to leave the premises and that GSU coaches and players were off-limits.”
