TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — The Florida A&M University has a new head football coach.
FAMU says they have removed James Colzie III from the position. He joined FAMU in 2022 and served as head coach for two season.
The university thanked him for his service and commitment to the team in what they called a time of transition.
On Monday, FAMU announced Henry Burris, the quarterbacks coach and co-offensive coordinator, would serve as the acting head football coach until a permanent coach is selected.
According to a news release, Burris's priorities include "managing player cohesion, supporting active recruitment efforts, and ensuring that the program remains focused and prepared as FAMU charts its path forward."
FAMU finished the season with a 5-7 record in 2025 after getting 7 wins in 2024.
FAMU athletics says this move is part of a push by President Marva Johnson to reach "sustained competitiveness" across the school's athletic programs.
