Alabama A&M University announced Monday there would be a change in leadership for the school's football program.

Alabama A&M has dismissed Connell Maynor from his position as the Bulldogs’ head football coach, the program announced on Monday. Maynor was hired as head coach in 2018 and spent six full seasons with the program, along with the COVID-19 shortened season in the spring of 2021.

Connell Maynor's time at Alabama A&M is done. The school announced on Monday that it has “relieved” Connell Maynor of his head coaching role after seven seasons at the helm. “We want to thank Connell Maynor for his seven seasons at Alabama A&M University,” AAMU AD Dr. Paul Bryant said “We wish him well in all his future endeavors.”

Athletic Director Paul A. Bryant says a national search for the program’s next head coach will begin immediately.

Alabama A&M linebacker Medrick Burnett Jr.’s death was confirmed Nov. 29, according to NBC News, two days after the school issued a retraction for prematurely announcing his passing.
