The long wait for the official announcement of Donald Hill-Eley's appointment as Morgan State's new football coach ended yesterday, 19 days after it was reported in The Sun that last season's offensive coordinator would be named boss of the Bears.
Morgan athletic director David Thomas said Hill-Eley would replace Stanley Mitchell, who had a 5-27 record in three seasons at Morgan.
"I was impressed with the way Coach Hill related to our young team last season," said Thomas yesterday. "He made substantial contributions to the program last year, and the players seemed to identify well with him.
