By Steven J. Gaither

Christmas has come early in Tallahassee. After months of speculation, FAMU has named Alex Wood as its new head coach according to Jordan Culver of the Tallahasee Democrat.

“I’m excited about being able to name a coach with the experience, success and qualifications of Coach Wood,” interim AD  Nelson Townsend said.

He was not one of the initial eight candidates identified as a being in the running for the job by the school a few weeks ago.
