Former Grambling head coach Melvin Spears is now the offensive coordinator at Alabama State. Speculation of the news began earlier this week, but the (Baton Rouge) Advocate reported Spears confirmed the news on Saturday.“I kind of backed into it,” Spears said. “Coach (Reggie) Barlow wanted to shuffle his staff and wanted to have a more vertical-type passing game. My name comes up anytime you hear that.”Make no mistake about it, Spears has established himself as a solid offensive coordinator and recruiter. This move to Alabama State could be the next step to eventually securing a another head coaching job. Some are even speculating that Alabama State head coach Reggie Barlow may have (unknowingly) hired his future replacement.

yep barlow hired his replacement. If spears can land some big talent at ASU. And turn the dismall offense around spears should be looking for a promotion. ( he won't last long though )
Spears will be good for Bama State if they can build back up their talent level. He doesn't have Bruce Eugene to bail him out so it will be interesting to see what will happen.
