Jacksonville State will reportedly name Charles Kelly as its next head football coach. Kelly is a native of Ozark, Alabama and is no stranger to the state of Alabama. He coached at Auburn last year and previously worked under Deion Sanders at Colorado and Nick Saban at Alabama. Kelly returns to Jacksonville State, where he served in various assistant coaching roles under Bill Burgess and Mike Williams from 1994 to 1998. Kelly was never a head coach in college level in his career. He takes over for Rich Rodriguez, who will return to West Virginia. Jax State played in its second-ever bowl game on Friday, losing to Ohio 30-27.
