Alabama A&M Dismisses Head Football Coach Maynor

Alabama A&M University has dismissed head football coach Connell Maynor after seven seasons, with Director of Athletics Dr. Paul A. Bryant announcing the decision and thanking Maynor for his contributions. Maynor finished his tenure with a 40-32 overall record and a 28-21 record in Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) play, including a SWAC Championship during the abbreviated 2020-21 season. His final season saw the Bulldogs finish with a 6-6 overall record and 4-4 in SWAC play. A national search for Maynor's successor will begin immediately as the program looks to move forward. This change comes after a series of underwhelming performances in recent years, with the team finishing fourth in the SWAC East for the past three seasons.
