Southern University Names Marshall Faulk Head Football Coach

The Hall of Fame running back takes his first college helm following a year on Deion Sanders' Colorado staff.

Overview

  • The university announced the hire and scheduled a campus introduction for Monday, Dec. 1 at 12 p.m. ET.
  • Faulk succeeds Terrence Graves, who was fired in October, after Southern finished the season 2-10.
  • A New Orleans native, Faulk returns to Louisiana to lead the Baton Rouge-based FCS HBCU.
  • Multiple outlets reported a three-year agreement, though the school has not disclosed contract terms.
  • Coverage places the move within a wider wave of high-profile ex-NFL players taking HBCU coaching roles linked to Sanders' influence.
