UAB's football coach relinquishes AD position
BIRMINGHAM — UAB football coach Watson
Brown is giving up his duties as athletic director.
University president Carol Z. Garrison
said Tuesday that she and Brown decided "football needed his undivided
attention" after he had served more than three years in a dual role.
"This allows Watson to focus solely on
recruiting, evaluating where the football program stands and putting into
place the elements necessary for a successful season next year," Garrison
said.
The Blazers, who made their first bowl
game in 2004, had expected to contend for another this season but finished
5-6 in Brown's 11th season as head coach.
Brown served a stint as East Carolina's
quarterbacks coach during the tenure of former Pirate head coach Pat Dye
(1974-79).
Richard Margison, UAB's vice president
for finance and administration, will take over the responsibilities of
running the athletic department on an interim basis.
Garrison said the arrangement will last
at least several months.
Margison oversees all of the
university's business operations and facilities, and has worked closely with
the athletics department's leadership.
"I plan to be involved in the
management of the athletic department on a regular basis and to immerse
myself quickly in this role so that all of our coaches and staff have the
support they need to be successful," Margison said.
Player who broke teammate's jaw reinstated
EL PASO — Texas-El Paso's Jason
Williams is back on the team following his suspension last week for punching
a teammate and breaking his jaw.
Coach Doc Sadler reinstated him Monday,
and the senior forward practiced with the team. The coach said Williams, who
averages 15.4 points, will play Saturday against New Mexico State.
"I've got to make a decision based on
what is best for our basketball program," Sadler said at a news conference.
"I took into consideration what happened, the people involved, their
teammates, the coaching staff and the fans."
Sadler has said Williams hit Stefon
Jackson during a "very competitive practice." Williams has apologized.
Jackson had surgery and is out for at least six weeks.
