FAMU football's Quinn Gray sees 'growing pains' — and demands change

Quinn Fordham Gray Sr., the first-year head coach of Florida A&M football, attended the postgame press conference following a narrow loss to Tennessee State. The Rattlers (1-3) suffered a 29-26 defeat on Saturday. Gray acknowledged the "growing pains" that the team is experiencing as they work towards becoming champions. He noted that some players are not yet accustomed to the mindset required for success and that changes are underway at the Galimore-Powell Fieldhouse.

The team's struggles could be attributed to their discipline and effort. Gray emphasized that the players have the talent, but they need to work harder and make sacrifices to achieve their goals. He also mentioned that the team had to restart a practice on gameday eve due to low "effort" and "energy." Gray is committed to turning the program around, but he is realistic about the time and effort required to achieve success.

He is confident in his team's potential and will work tirelessly to ensure they fulfill their promise.
