Dover, Del. (Nov. 25, 2022) — Delaware State University Director of Athletics Alecia Shield-Gadson has announced that Rod Milstead has been relieved of his duties as head coach of the Hornets’ football program effective immediately.

I definitely saw progress.  He was slowly turning the corner.

This was a contract renewal season for him. I assume if he would have won more than he lost, he would have gotten an extension.

Delaware State was doing alright until the untimely passing away of their Offensive Coordinator just before their game against Howard. Sorry to hear about this!

Just think if he had won the NCCU game in the final seconds.  This team might have help Howard get to the Celebration bowl
