“We are looking forward to the role of the university coach and the Chicago state, the southern side, and all Chicago,” said Chicago State University President Zaldworkaykna Scott. “This hiring is a testament to recognize the strong impact of Chicago’s growth and transformation and HBCU management and culture.”
The coach played collectively at the University of North Carolina, the former NFL players and coaches were selected from the competition pool of more than 230 applicants who entered each level. However, with the obligation to separate it, the obligation to the mentor and community tab was the ability to build and upgrade programs in HBCUS.
“It is an honor to be elected to build a football program of the State of Chicago, and I am grateful for the confidence that Dr. Carroll and the university placed in me,” Rome said. “Our meetings are aligned. We do not only do not set up a football team – we are building something that reflects the pride of the southern side and took the HBCU’s inheritance.”
CSU athletic director Dr. Monique Carroll reflected the excitement. “When this journey began, we were determined to find a leader who understands not its football, but also the importance of cultural and community.” “Aries Roma’s HBCU background and success has adapted it ideal for this role. Today is a historic day for CSU and Chicago.”
As part of CSU to bring football to the south side, a community leaders, former Chicago bears, high school coaches and business leaders helped build a new program. The Roman team will continue to enter as soon as the foundation of the team.
“The future begins now,” the coach is Rome. “Chicago I received a section of the football team, which will be torn with a sense of spirit and pride, which is the champion of Hbcus for generations. We are ready to go.”
