Coach Connell Maynor is out as the head football coach at Alabama A&M University. Director of Athletics Dr. Paul A. Bryant announced the change in leadership by announcing the university is "relieving head coach Connell Maynor from his duties, effective immediately. A national search for the program's next head coach will begin immediately as well."

"We want to thank Connell Maynor for his seven seasons at Alabama A&M University," Bryant said "We wish him well in all his future endeavors."
