After Undefeated Season, A&T Football Coach Broadway Retires

A football coach who made history at North Carolina A&T University is retiring.

Rod Broadway is going out on a high note. The Aggies finished the season undefeated and won the 2017 Historically Black Colleges and Universities national championship in December. Now Broadway, who has coached the team for the last seven seasons, is stepping down.

The Aggies undefeated season was a first for the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, and they're also the first Division 1-double-A black college to go undefeated and untied.

The win over Grambling State marked the second time Broadway had led the Aggies to the HBCU national championship after having also accomplished the feat in 2015.

Overall, Broadway is ending a 15-year head-coaching career that saw him win 127 games against 45 losses, which included a stop at North Carolina Central University.

Sam Washington has been promoted to head coach. Washington has served as assistant head coach, defensive coordinator and secondary coach.
