By Steven J. Gaither

Less than two years after taking over the football program at his alma mater, former NFL linebacker Earl Holmes is out as FAMU head coach. Holmes firing comes days before FAMU’s homecoming game against Norfolk State. Assistant Corey Fuller will take over head coaching duties.

He originally took over on an interiem basis back in 2012 when legendary coach Joe Taylor suddenly retired in early November.
