Yes.

And does this move sound like a step up? I know FAMU is a small school, but he'd coach to a position coach?

After their bowl game win Simmons is getting some attention. I guess he thought he needed to go P5 to get serious looks

Willie “shotgun” Simmons. Got benched in favor of Charlie Whitehurst at QB.

I remember Whitehurst . The dude made millions in the NFL as a backup QB .

Definitely a step up for the resume. He was also on Beamer short list for our RB Coach position!!
