BATON ROUGE - Southern University Coach Stump Mitchell is expected to address the media today. He may shed some light on his future at the University.
Mitchell has been quiet since it was reported he interviewed for a job with the St. Louis Rams on Monday.
Interim Director of Athletics Sandy Pugh said Tuesday that while it has been reported that Coach Mitchell has been interviewed for a position with the NFL's St. Louis Rams, the University is going forward with Coach Mitchell leading players during their first day of practice.
"Stump Mitchell is head football coach at Southern University today," she said. "There will be no other comments on the situation unless, and until, the situation changes."
"I join the rest of the Jaguar Nation in wishing Coach Mitchell well in his third season at Southern University," Pugh said.
The Jaguars open the 2012 season on the road at Football Bowl Subdivision member New Mexico in Albuquerque, N.M. on Sept 1.
WAFB Sports Director Steve Schneider will have a full report on Southern and Stump Mitchell tonight on 9News at 6 and 10.
