Coaching Staff Anthony Jones Head Coach

Anthony Jones is entering his 13th season as a head coach and the 10th as the leader of the AAMU Bulldog football program. In 2006, Jones led the Bulldogs to their first SWAC title and tied the school record with nine victories. The Bulldogs posted back-to-back nine-win seasons in 2005 and 2006. The 2006 SWAC Coach of the year has led A&M to four SWAC title games in eight seasons and enters the 2010 campaign with a 79-46 career record. With his 64-41 record while at Alabama A&M, Jones has won a greater percentage of his games than any coach in Alabama A&M history. His .609 winning percentage stands behind legendary A&M coach Louis Crews, who won 62 percent of his games over 16 years leading the Bulldogs. Jones’ 64 wins at A&M rank second all-time behind Crews, who won 93 games at A&M. In 2005, Jones led the Bulldogs to their second SWAC East Championship under his reign, and a 9-3 record. The nine wins also earned Jones a milestone victory in the regular season finale, a 31-16 win at Prairie View served as the 50th win in Jones’ career. After the Bulldogs posted tremendous 8-4 records in each of his first two seasons in 2002 and 2003, the team from the Rocket City capped off another outstanding season in 2004 with a 7-4 mark. With a 21-7 victory in the Magic City Classic Jones is 7-1 in his eight seasons against in-state rival Alabama State. The 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2009 teams also captured the John Merritt Classic title, defeating Tennessee State in the season-opener. Alabama A&M remains the only visiting team to have beaten Tennessee State in the John Merritt Classic’s history. Twice, Jones has led A&M to six-game winning streaks in his tenure. After two early losses in 2002, Jones’ Bulldogs won six straight and eight of nine to finish the regular season. The Bulldogs captured the SWAC East (6-1). This led to A&M’s second berth in the SWAC championship in three years. In 2005, after a disappointing Homecoming loss to Texas Southern, the Bulldogs regrouped and won six straight games to finish the regular season en route to another SWAC East title and a berth in the SWAC Championship game. The 2009 season saw three two game win streaks and victories over Jackson State (13-5) and Mississippi Valley (17-12) in the final two contest of the season to earn Jones his fourth SWAC East championship and title game appearance where the Maroon & White fell 24-30 to Prairie View A&M. Jones arrived at Alabama A&M from Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, where he spent four years. After serving as the offensive coordinator and assistant head coach in his first year with the Maroon Tigers, he was promoted to head coach in 1999. After going 2-8 in his first season, Jones led the Tigers to the first back-to-back eight-win seasons in school history. He was named SIAC Coach of the year both times. The 2000 campaign (8-3) qualified him and the Tigers as the second-most improved team in NCAA Division II. Following his second consecutive eight-win season (8-2), Jones was one of three finalists for the 2001 Eddie Robinson Coach of the year Award along with Doug Williams (Grambling State) and Rick Comegy (Tuskegee). He was a finalist again in 2002, his inaugural season at AAMU when he became just the second coach in AAMU history to win the Magic City Classic and Homecoming in his first year as head coach (Ray Bonner in 1992). Jones is a native of Baltimore, Maryland. He played college football at Wichita State University for Willie Jeffries, where he earned several honors as a tight end, including the Ben Hustle Award (1981), and All-Missouri Valley Conference (1983). Following his senior season with the Shockers, Jones went on to play for the Redskins in the National Football League, where he helped Washington win the 1987 Super Bowl. The Redskins traded him to the San Diego Chargers during to the 1988 season, but Jones was forced to retire after suffering a knee injury before the next season. In 1991 Jones joined the staff at Western Maryland College in Westminster, Maryland, where he served as the receivers/tight ends coach. Jones moved to South Carolina State University in 1992, where he rejoined his mentor, Willie Jeffries, as a defensive assistant. In 1993, he was promoted to offensive coordinator at SCSU, a position that he held until his departure for Morehouse in 1998. In 1994, SCSU won the MEAC title and earned the Black College National Champions following a win over Grambling at the Heritage Bowl. Jones and his wife, Valerie, have two sons, Drew and Julian.

Coaching Staff Brawnski Towns Defensive Coordinator

Brawnski Towns has been a fixture as both a player and coach at A&M for over three decades. The long-time Normalite is entering his 33rd season as a coach with the Bulldogs. He has served as the defensive coordinator for nearly two decades, and has annually directed some of the top defensive units in the country. In addition to defensive coordinator duties, Towns also holds the title of Associate Head Football Coach. Towns first ventured to “The Hill” in 1965 to play for legendary coach Louis Crews. During four successful seasons as a defensive back, he set a school career interception record with 29 picks, a record that still stands today. He was a three-time All-SIAC selection (1967-69) at defensive back, and served as a tri-captain in 1968 and 1969. Following his college playing career, Towns signed with the Buffalo Bills of the NFL as a free agent.

In 1993 the secondary finished No. 1 in the nation in pass defense. He co-coordinated a unit that led the nation in rushing defense, allowing only 30 yards per game in 2000. Overall, he has directed a unit that has finished ranked in the top 10 of at least one category 15 times since his return in 1984. In 2002, the Bulldog defense led the SWAC in total defense (288.8), rushing defense (83.8), sacks (51) and scoring defense (18.8). In 2003, the Bulldogs topped the conference in total defense (258.1), rushing defense (82.6), sacks (50), interceptions (24) while second in scoring defense (16.2) and pass defense (175.5).

Pearl’s 2008 offensive unit finished third in the SWAC in total offense. Pearl served under Anthony Jones as the offensive line coach at Morehouse. Although he was there only one season, he made an immediate impact with the Tigers. He took a team that had no all-conference performers in 2000 and groomed two all-SIAC offensive linemen in 2001. Each season since his arrival on “The Hill,” Pearl also produced at least one first-team allSWAC offensive lineman, plus Christopher Franklin named All-America in 2006. In each of his first six seasons, A&M has ranked among the conference leaders in fewest sacks allowed and rushing yards gained. The offensive line is also consistently one of the least penalized units in the SWAC. In 2006 offensive lineman Kristian Smith not only earned all-SWAC honors on the field, but was named a national finalist for the Draddy Award, given to the nation’s top football scholar-athlete. Smith was one of 17 finalists in all divisions of college football, among three from NCAA-IAA and the only member of the honorees from an HBCU. Pearl played collegiately at Tuskegee as an offensive lineman. He was a three-time all-SIAC selection with an honorable mention in 1989, second team in 1990, and first team in 1991. Pearl’s coaching career began as a graduate assistant for the Golden Tigers in 1993, then joined the staff full time in 1994 as the offensive line coach. After three seasons with the Tigers, Pearl joined the staff at Morris Brown as the defensive line coach and recruiting coordinator. In 1996, Pearl helped the Wolverine defense lead the SIAC in scoring defense. He spent five seasons with the Wolverines before Jones hired him at Morehouse. A member of Omega Psi Phi fraternity, Pearl served as an offensive intern under NFL head coaches Herman Edwards and Dennis Green during the summers of 2005 and 2006, respectively. He also completed a coaching internship with the Oakland Raiders prior to the 2006 season. Pearl received the 2006 Golden Torch award from the Huntsville Athletic Booster club honoring professionals for achievements in their specific fields. During the summer of 2009 Pearl was selected by the NCAA as a participant in the 2009 NCAA Expert Coaches Forum. The NCAA selected 19 football coaches from across the country to participate in the event. The forum targeted coaches with at least eight years of experience and was designed to improve and reinforce critical aspects of securing, managing, and excelling in head football coaching positions at the intercollegiate level. Topics covered during the three-day workshop included media training, fiscal responsibility, building a successful program, compliance issues, and academic issues.

Season Preview Offense was the question the Alabama A&M football team couldn’t answer last season finishing 3-8 on the year. This was only the second year that head coach Anthony Jones and his staff finished with a losing season in the decade he has been at the helm of the Bulldog football program. To answer those questions 10th year head coach Anthony Jones will look to: Quarterbacks Starting quarterback Deaunte Mason threw for 911 yards and eight touchdowns in 2010. The one time MVP rushed for 212 yards and two TD’s in seven games of action. Mason went out with a groin injury during the 69th annual Magic City Classic. Sophomore Justin Jones came in and finished his true freshman season with 801 yards and four TD’s off of 59-116 passing. The Decatur, Alabama native rushed for 76 yards and a TD in nine competitive events. The University of AlabamaBirmingham transfer David Isabelle brings experience as the former starting QB for the Blazers in 2010. Isabelle played in seven games totaling 334 yards and four touchdowns on the ground and 23 of 50 pass attempts with 564 yards and three touchdowns in the air. A&M finished 9th in passing offense in 2010. Running Backs Kaderius Lacey carried the running game for the Bulldogs leading the team on the ground with 710 yards on 142 carries and five touchdowns. Lacey finished fifth in the conference in rushing. Freshman Brendon Johnson learned on the fly as he was promoted to second string after Lacey was promoted to starter when Tony Green went down with a concussion in the John Merritt Classic. Johnson saw six games in the Maroon & White and earned 56 yards on 15 carries. He also earned 127 yards on 10 kick returns. During the spring of 2011, Johnson was able to heal nagging injuries from the Fall and explode in the Maroon & White Spring game gaining 72 yards on 16 attempts. Stephan Andrews saw action in two games in 2010 totaling 22 yards on six carries. Holding down the full back position will be Joseph Porter. The Bulldogs completed the season third in rushing offense. Wide Receivers Montarius Smith came alive on the field during the Spring game leading all receivers with seven receptions for 117 yards and a touchdown. Smith red-shirted the 2010 season and will be depended on to assist leading receiver G’Alonzo Smith who ended the year with 30 catches for 517 yards and four TD’s. Torey Smith caught seven receptions for 116 yards in eight games last season and will look for more time in the slot position. Ball State transfer Jeremy Hill will add speed and size to the corps after a 2009 season that saw him in five games where he caught 11 catches for 138 yards and a touchdown. Hill was red-shirted in 2010. Terrance Pride also sat out the 2010 season but looks to make his presence felt in 2011. Tight End Even though Kenneth Harris did not start in one game last year, he led all tight ends with seven receptions for 92 yards and a TD. The starter Bobby Goldsby ended the year with 66 yards on five catches. Jared Bing saw action in eight contests and accounted for four receptions for 28 yards. Offensive Line All great coaches know if you don’t win the battles you will not win the war. That war in college football starts in the trenches with the offensive line. A&M replaces two starters on a line that gave up 30 sacks for 199 yards. Returning rotating starters include Joaquenssi Eugene, Carlos Tolbert, Alan Cruz, Justin Goodrich and Jamal Johnson-Webb. Giba Goba will look for action in his second season on “The Hill”. Transfer Bryant Ross will look for time on the line as he transfers in from West Hills Community College. Ross was named the Most Improved Offensive Player at West Hills (Cal.) College last season. Defensive Line A&M’s 2010 defense produced the only SWAC player to be drafted in the 2011 NFL draft. The line also accounted for 155 of the 651 team tackles from last season. Returning starters include Preston Nelson, Tim Tillman and Clarence Lovell. Phillip Harvey was redshirted in 2010 and will battle Jamal Cooper, Dominique Wright and Brandon Savage to see the field in the upcoming year. Marshall University transfer Corey Hart impressed defensive coordinator Brawnski Towns in the spring. Currently Hart is in the starting position at right end. Walk-on Quintin Robinson’s work in the spring was inspiring and his talents will add depth to the position. Linebackers Preseason All-SWAC candidate Willie Fuller leads all returning linebackers in tackles from 2010 with 54. Fuller will be joined by Markeith Cliatt, Denzel Cotton, Cuevas Dargan, and Ryan Jackson. During the spring, Scottsdale College transfer Montay Rover moved ahead of Dargan as the second team Mike linebacker. Defensive Backs The Bulldogs leading tackler Vernon Marshall heads up a defensive unit that totaled eight interceptions for 150 yards and 2 touchdowns. In Marshall’s first full year at starting strong safety he totaled 77 tackles, 20 more than the next A&M athlete. Starting free safety Rico Porch returns after posting 38 tackles, five for a loss of 12 yards, four breakups and a fumble recovery. Vandrick Jackson posted 21 tackles. Derrick Harris saw action in nine events and ended the year with 10 stops. Other returners for A&M in the secondary include, Jeremy Isabelle, Nicholas Shoaf, Clarence Morris and Theron Rice. They will be joined by A.J. Clark who moves to the other side of the ball from the QB position to increase the secondary speed. Special Teams College Football Performance Awards watch list selection Chance Wilson led all players in scoring during 2010 with 51 points coming from 8 of 11 in field goals and 27 for 27 in points after touchdowns. Jordan Roman returns to handle the long snapping duties. Wilson ended his sophomore season ranked sixth in scoring, third in punting, fifth in field goals and first in point after touchdown percentage all in the Southwestern Athletic Conference. Coach Jones and the Bulldog staff will have to turnaround only their second losing season during the last decade. In 2008 the Jones led squad posted a 5-7 record. The next year Alabama A&M went 7-5 and lost to Prairie View A&M in the 2009 conference championship.

John Stallworth HUNTSVILLE, AL. -- Sports Illustrated writer Joe Posnanski has created a list of the top 32 receivers in National Football League history. Alabama A&M’s John Stallworth is on the list, at No. 27. There are those of us who’d argue he deserves an even better spot. “He was overshadowed for much of his Pittsburgh career by (teammate Lynn) Swann’s grace, but he had the more productive career -- catching 200 more passes for 3,000 more yards,” Posnanski wrote. The A&M graduate was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2002. Johnny Lee Stallworth, (born July 15, 1952), in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, is a former American football wide receiver who played fourteen seasons in the National Football League for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He played college football at Alabama A&M, becoming the Steelers’ fourth-round draft pick in 1974. Stallworth played in six AFC championships, and went to four Super Bowls. His career statistics included 537 receptions for 8,723 yards and 63 TDs. His receptions were a franchise record until that record was surpassed by Hines Ward in 2005. Stallworth played in four Pro Bowls and was the Steelers’ two-time MVP. A native of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Stallworth was an All-Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference receiver for Alabama A&M in 1972 and 1973. Stallworth was the 82nd player taken that year. After a rookie year as an understudy, he became a starter in his second season and held that job for the rest of his 165-game career. Stallworth did battle a series of fibula, foot, ankle, knee and hamstring injuries that forced him to miss 44 regular-season games. He is best remembered for his actions in the Super Bowl. In Super Bowl XIII, he caught a record-tying 75-yard touchdown pass from Terry Bradshaw that would later be a crucial touchdown in a 35-31 Steelers win over the Dallas Cowboys. He suffered leg cramps later and played sparingly in the second half, finishing with 3 receptions for 115 yards and 2 touchdowns One year later, at Super Bowl XIV with the Steelers trailing the Los Angeles Rams 19-17 early in the fourth quarter, Steelers’ coach Chuck Noll called for “60-Prevent-Slot-Hook-And-Go,” a play the Steelers failed in practice prior to the big game. With 12 minutes remaining, Bradshaw dropped back and threw it long to Stallworth, who caught it and beat Rod Perry to the end zone for a 73-yard touchdown that would pave the way for the Steelers’ 31-19 win and their fourth world championship. Sports Illustrated considered the catch notable enough to put Stallworth on the cover of a subsequent issue. Overall, Stallworth recorded 3 receptions for 121 yards in the game.

John Stallworth Stallworth holds the Super Bowl records for career average per catch (24.4 yards) and single-game average, 40.33 yards in Super Bowl XIV. He had 12 touchdown receptions and a string of 17 straight games with a reception in post-season play. Stallworth also scored touchdowns in eight straight playoff games at one point (1978–1983), an NFL record. He led the AFC with a career-high 1,395 yards gained on 80 receptions in 1984, when he was named the NFL Comeback Player of the Year. He helped the Steelers defeat eventual Super Bowl champion San Francisco for that team’s only loss of the season and led the Steelers in a playoff run that featured an upset win over the Denver Broncos in the AFC Divisional Playoffs at Denver’s Mile High Stadium. The next week, the Steelers fell to the Miami Dolphins in the AFC Championship Game, thus falling short of participating in Super Bowl XIX. Stallworth earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration and an MBA with a concentration in Finance from Alabama A&M University. In 1986, he founded Madison Research Corporation (MRC), which specialized in providing engineering and information technology services to government and commercial clients. Under Stallworth’s leadership, MRC grew to more than 650 employees and $69.5 million in revenues(FY03). MRC manages six regional offices: Huntsville, Alabama (headquarters); Warner Robins, Georgia; Orlando, Florida and Shalimar, Florida; Montgomery, Alabama; Houston, Texas; and Dayton, Ohio. In October 2006, the sale of MRC to Wireless Facilities Inc. was completed, and at that time it was announced that Stallworth would pursue other interests. Stallworth was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in August 2002. Stallworth was announced as becoming part-owner of his former team on March 23, 2009, as part of the Rooney family restructuring ownership of the team. The Rooneys will remain in control of the franchise. Stallworth joins former Pittsburgh Penguins captain Mario Lemieux among Pittsburgh sports figures that would later own at least part of their former team.

Nothing compares to the pageantry and history of black college football. From the marching bands to historical â&#x20AC;&#x153;Classicâ&#x20AC;? match-ups, the passion with which fans follow their HBCUs is unprecedented. And Alabama A&M Bulldog football is no exception. Whether it is the Magic City Classic, Homecoming, or even a Spring Game, you can expect the Maroon and White to be there - in full force - to support their Bulldogs!!! Former A&M players have a long history of success in the National Football League. John Stallworth won 4 Super Bowls with the Pittsburgh Steelers and earned a place in the Hall of Fame. Robert Mathis is an All-Pro defensive end for the Colts and has his own Super Bowl ring. Howard Ballard was a 2-time Pro Bowler and appeared in 4 Super Bowls for the Buffalo Bills. Johnny Baldwin is now a linebacker with the Redskins after moving from the Chiefs.

Director of Athletics

Betty Kelly Austin was named Alabama A&M Director of Athletics in March 2007. Based on a recommendation from a search committee comprised of coaches, faculty, staff, undergraduate and graduate students, alumni and the presidents of both booster clubs, Austin was elevated to director of athletics following a year where she had been serving in the position on an interim basis. Austin’s stellar resume includes being one of the top volleyball coaches in the country, finishing with over 600 career victories. Coach Austin’s teams won six-straight Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) volleyball titles from 2000-05 and 11 more Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) conference titles in her 30 years as head coach.

Student-Athlete Services â&#x20AC;˘ A+ Commitment From NCAA compliance and eligibility to the Academic Enhancement Center, the student-athlete services at Alabama A&M University are second-to-none in their commitment to helping ensure success for Bulldog student-athletes, not only on the field, but in life. The Alabama A&M Athletics Academic Enhancement Center offers Bulldog student-athletes with various essential services to help foster an environment of learning and progress toward graduation at the University. Founded in 2007, the Center has quickly become one of the most effective and popular aspects of student-athlete life as a Bulldog. With an engaging and enthusiastic staff willing to assist the academic process for every Bulldog studentathlete, the Academic Enhancement Center is vital to the completion of the athletics department missionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focus to mold Bulldog student-athletes into upstanding and involved citizens once leaving The Hill. The staff focuses its services on academic counseling, tutoring, registration and scheduling, addition and dropping of classes, laptop loan program, study hall, class attendance monitoring, and progress reports. One of the strongest commitments for the Center is the matriculation to college process for incoming freshmen and transfer students. The state-of-the-art Academic Enhancement Center facility, which is housed in the renovated Council Training Building in the heart of campus, makes it possible for the staff to better track student-athlete success, not only in the classroom, but in career development and social development as well. Along with the student-athlete services full-time staff, the department is fortunate to have a dedicated Faculty Athletics Representative in Dr. Ronald Slaughter. Slaughter is a political science associate professor faculty member with research interests in African-American politics and military policy. Not only is Slaughter quite possibly the No. 1 Bulldogs fan while student-athletes are competing on the field, he also serves as their No. 1 proponent in helping to ensure that Alabama A&Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s athletics department is seen as a beacon to graduating student-athletes and making them productive citizens upon leaving the University. Whether working with fellow faculty members or representatives from the NCAA, Dr. Slaughter serves as a valuable tool in the day-to-day life of Bulldog student-athletes.

Marching Maroon & White The band program at Alabama A&M has been around since 1890, and is most recognized as The Marching Maroon and White, which is annually 230 members strong. Under the direction of Dr. Arthur Wesley from 1979 until 2009, many Bulldog alumni and supporters are as crazy about their band as their Bulldogs on the gridiron, and you can feel the excitement building in the stadium as halftime nears. With public appearances all across the nation, The Marching Maroon and White made history on New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day in 2006 when it led the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, Calif. The band also served as the opening act for the Olympic soccer matches held at Birminghamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Legion Field in the 1996 Atlanta Games. The Alabama A&M band has marched in the 2010 Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans, Louisiana. In 2010 Dr. Derrick Yates took over as the director of bands for A&M.

Magic City Classic Now in its 70th season, the Magic City Classic is not only one of the biggest football games in the South and in Black College Football, it is one of the highest-profile games in the country. Every year, nearly 70,000 fans pack historic Legion Field in Birmingham on the last Saturday in October to cheer on their beloved Bulldogs and Hornets. And while there are 70,000 inside the stadium, there are at least that many outside the gates competing with their rivals over everything from the best barbecue recipe to the battle of the bands at halftime. Throughout this rivalry the two teams have battled to a near tied record. Alabama A&M’s 31-28 come-from-behind victory in 2005 broke the tie, and three more wins in 2006, 2007, and 2008 have given the Bulldogs a 35-30-3 edge in the overall series of Magic City Classic games. Alabama A&M won its fourth straight Classic in 2008, a thrilling 17-16 victory that came down to the final minute of play. The setting for this Classic match-up is one of the most storied and historic venues in college football history. Few places have seen as many historical moments as Birmingham’s Legion Field. Thanks in part to the support of new title sponsor, State Farm Insurance, and the management of the Bruno Event Team and the Alabama Sports Foundation, the Magic City Classic has grown to the most profitable Black College Football game in the country ahead of the Bayou Classic.

Louis Crews Classic Reggie Benson, The Huntsville Times First Crews Classic to be played Sept. 11 vs. Central State Louis Crews, the man who put Alabama A&M’s football program on the map, will have a game named in his honor. On Wednesday, A&M officials, in a signing ceremony on campus, announced the formation of the Louis Crews Classic in honor of the Bulldogs’ all-time winningest coach. “This is truly a great day at Alabama A&M University,” president Dr. Andrew Hugine said. “What an excellent time to begin a classic for a great man.” The inaugural game will take place on Sept. 11 when Central State comes to town. Crews compiled a 93-53-3 record from 1960-1975 at A&M. He guided the Bulldogs to four Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference championships, including a perfect 8-0 record in 1963. A&M’s stadium, which is also named after him, opened on Sept. 14, 1996. “What an honor to be a part of something that we can call our own,” A&M football coach Anthony Jones said. “Coach Crews won a lot of games, but the way to measure the success of the man is by the impact he had on his players. When you can send people out into the world and they are extensions of you that tells you the measure of the man. “We will do all we can to make this a great classic because it is honoring a son of Alabama A&M.” Lynn Sherrod, a member of the board of trustees, spearheaded the idea after watching A&M and Tuskegee play before almost 48,000 people in the Circle City Classic in Indianapolis two years ago.

Louis Crews Classic Inaugural Louis Crews Classic to Honor All-Time Coach A heightened sense of excitement is in the air for Alabama A&M’s home opener Saturday against Central State (Ohio) in the inaugural Louis Crews Classic. The game honors one of the Bulldogs’ legendary coaches, whose 93-53-3 record in 16 seasons makes him No. 1 in school history in victories and second in winning percentage (.624) behind only current A&M coach Anthony Jones (.642). A week of activities surrounds the game, which coincides with the 100th anniversary of Alabama A&M football. “This is a way to honor a great man and set the tone for the season,’’ Alabama A&M Director of Athletics Betty Austin said. More than 100 of Crews’ former players are expected to attend the game, which will be played at the 22,000-seat stadium that bears his name. Crews, a standout running back for the Bulldogs who scored the first touchdown in the Magic City Classic in 1940, is widely credited with setting the tone for Alabama A&M’s football program when he became coach in 1960. The Bulldogs were 7-1 in Crews’ first season after going 1-7 the previous year. He went on to lead the Bulldogs to four SIAC championships and the only undefeated season in school history with an 8-0 record in 1963. “Before he came, A&M was easy to beat,’’ former Alabama State player and coach Jim Parker. “A&M was a big game for us, but they were just mundane until Crews got there. All that they are doing in his honor is well justified.’’ Crews, who died in 2005, was hailed as one of the great offensive coaches and considered to be ahead of his time. He is most noted for his penchant for passing and trap plays. “He was on the cutting edge,’’ says SWAC Hall of Famer Doug Porter, who coached at Mississippi Valley State and later at Fort Valley State and was friends with Crews. “A lot of us were running and would pass on third down. He’d pass on first down. That was not the norm at that time. He was very innovative. His understanding of the passing game was ahead of his time.’’ Stan Lomax, who coached at Fort Valley State, recalls an athletic director from another school telling him before his first game against Crews and the Bulldogs, that Alabama A&M would be well-coached. “Indeed he was correct,’’ Lomax says. “He was a terrific coach. He was very impressive. Their line play was always at an unusually high level.’’ Crews bedeviled opponents with a passing scheme called the third man out. It simply involved including a running back in the pass patterns with the two ends, which was virtually unheard of at the time. “He was a master of including a running back in the pass offense,’’ Lomax says. “We had terrific problems. It was a phase of the game that was being developed at that time. He just continuously utilized the third man out. It was a potent weapon against us.’’ Seeing the success Crews had using the third man out, Lomax made it a part of Fort Valley State’s offense. Current Alabama A&M associate head coach and defensive coordinator Brawnski Towns was a defensive back for the Bulldogs from 1965-69 and an assistant coach from 1971-75 and has been back at his alma mater since 1984. He recalls Crews using four-wide receiver sets, which are commonplace nowadays, as early as his freshman season. Later, Crews developed what he called the L offense, which featured the fullback and tailback lined up behind tackle and a wingback and split end set to the opposite side of the formation. “He was probably an offensive genius,’’ Towns says. “He was way before his time. He just wanted to outscore everybody, and most of the time he did.’’ Crews’ wide open offensive philosophy was a breath of fresh air for Bulldogs fans, who had seen their team score 20 or more points just 10 times in the 10 seasons prior to him becoming coach. In 1963, the Bulldogs didn’t score fewer than 20 points in any game en route to their 8-0 record and averaged 32.2 points a game. Crews had an affinity for mobile offensive linemen, an essential for trap plays that were the foundation of the Bulldogs’ running game. Towns says Crews devised a number of exotic schemes that included trapping linebackers and the tight end trapping the nose guard, which Washington Redskins have used extensively in recent years. Opponents resorted to lining up their defensive linemen a yard off the line of scrimmage and having them read the play rather than attacking to counter the Bulldogs’ traps, Towns says. The Dallas Cowboys adopted a similar scheme in the mid-60s and called it the Flex Defense. Erskine Valrie, a wide receiver for the Bulldogs from 1964-66, says playing for Crews was a joy because he taught players a part of the game they never learned in high school. “He was light-hearted, but he made you work hard,’’ Valrie says, adding that Crews was not above running a play 10 times in practice in order to get it right. “He was a task master in terms of getting it right. He made you do it as long as it took to get it right.’’ Valrie says Crews had an uncanny ability to see everything and everybody on the practice even though he appeared not to be watching. “He would be coaching on one end of the field and all of a sudden he would holler, ‘I see you over there loafing,’’’ Valrie says. “You never knew when he was looking.’’ The Bulldogs under Crews would end practice with his version of the suicide drill. He would have the team sprint back and forth to a ditch at the end of the practice field, a distance of about 60 yards. When Crews shouted “to the ditch and back,’’ those were the five dirtiest words he could have spoken. This Saturday’s game between the Bulldogs, who are coming off a disappointing opening loss to Tennessee State, and Central State culminates a week of activities that are part of the tribute to Crews that began Sunday evening with a worship service. Other activities included an exhibit at the State Black Archives honoring Crews’ legacy, a breakfast that provided members of the Huntsville business community an opportunity to visit with coaches, ninth-grade students from Butler High School spending the day on campus while participating in the Hill Project to help boost the school’s graduation rate, a concert featuring Frankie Beverly and Maze, and pre-game showing featuring the Central State and Alabama A&M bands, as well as local high school bands. “We want to involve the entire community,’’ Austin said. The Lewis Crews Classic is the brainchild of Judge M. Lynn Sherrod, a member of the Alabama A&M Board of Trustees, who first proposed the game two years ago as a way to honor Crews and boost revenue for the athletic department. Austin says it’s fitting for the community to be a part of the salute to Crews because of his far-reaching influence. In addition to coaching football, he also was a teacher in the Physical Education Department and touched the lives of numerous non-athletes. “You couldn’t help but love him,’’ said Austin, who was a student in Crews’ classes. “Although you were young, you realized he was pushing you. He was hardcore, let’s get it done, don’t play around. He wanted you to be successful. He had a love for people in general.’’

Louis Crews Stadium â&#x20AC;˘ Hobson Fieldhouse Named after the winningest coach to ever pace the sidelines for Alabama A&M, the Louis Crews Stadium and Physical Education Complex stands as one of the finest on-campus football facilities in the NCAAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Division I-AA. The complex consists of a 21,000 seat football stadium, a state of the art pressbox, 19 luxury suites, and the George Hobson Field House, which houses the football coaching offices, a weight room, and locker room space. The stadium is also host to cultural events such as concerts and general assemblies and serves as the site for A&Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commencement exercises.
