“Earlier this morning, head football coach Dean Hood informed me that he will be departing Murray State and retiring from coaching. I want to personally thank Coach Hood for his leadership over the past four years and for being a positive influence on the lives of so many of our Racer student-athletes. I know all of Racer Nation joins me in thanking Coach Hood, his wife Crystal, his two sons, Trey and Daven, and his two daughters, Jada and Cordia, for everything they have done for our University and community, and we wish them all the best with this new endeavor.
We will immediately begin a national search for the next head coach of Racer football. As proud members of the Missouri Valley Football Conference, we are extremely confident that this position will attract a strong pool of candidates.”
