Fred McNair's Departure from Alcorn State Sparks Coaching Changes at Texas Southern
Fred McNair, former coach of Alcorn State football, will be hired as the new coach of Texas Southern after his contract was not renewed. Alcorn State promoted Cedric Thomas to replace McNair. Texas Southern fired coach Clarence McKinney and McNair will inherit quarterback Jace Wilson. McNair led Alcorn State to four successive SWAC East Division titles and played in back-to-back Celebration Bowls in 2018 and 2019. Alcorn State is now the only SWAC team without a coach.
