2. Coach Hazell received this honor after being on Staff for just one year. This speaks volumes about his abilities. JT is a very good developer of Coaches. This in my opinion, is one of the greatest honors Coach Tressel could give someone on his Staff.

HH, I certainly noticed the promotion, but I wasn't aware of how few black assistant head coaches there are. I know the head coach total was only 4 sometime last year. Gotta believe that Coach Hazell will raise that total by 1 someday, but let's hope that's after a few highly successful seasons in his current job. It's impressive that he got that promotion after only 1 year on the staff here.

Not sure if you're referring to JT or another coach here, but JT has been recruiting in Florida for almost 20 years...he had anywhere from 5-10 Fla players on YSU rosters year in and year out.

Great post HH. Now that you bring it up, I believe I do remember reading that Hazell was promoted to AHC.
I think an important factor with this also includes everyone's worry that Hazell might move on very soon to another coaching position.
I think this is a smart move to help try to keep a great coach on staff.

I remember reading a post about this right after it was announced. The member posting said that JT wanted to ensure that he would be on the staff for at least a couple more years. JT recognized how good he is and did not want to lose Hazzell as quickly as the other fine coaches that have moved on.
I was not aware of the african-american coaching stat though. Great informative post!

Mili, I met that Coach Hazell got off to a slow start in FL. But he finished with a bang! (Wells)
