Gerard Wilcher is allegedly being let go just days after winning his first game as Morehouse College head coach.
Mulitple sources confirmed to HBCU Gameday’s Kobe Scales that Wilcher is out as head coach after ten games. The players and director of athletics Harold Ellis are reportedly set to meet on Tuesday morning.
This news comes a week after sources indicated that Wilcher was on the hot seat. He denied it at the time.
“I’m not leaving, and I refuse to resign. I will make them publicly fire me, if they want me out,” Wilcher told HBCU Gameday. “I know there are some people that aren’t happy that we haven’t been able to get it done, but I have not even been approached about leaving.”
A Morehouse College alumnus, Wilcher took over the program this spring after Rich Freeman was let go. The program went 1-9 in 2022 and hasn’t won a conference title in over 30 years. He was on the job for just over eight months.
Morehouse College defeated Clark Atlanta 35-21 for its first win since beating CAU in the season finale back in 2022.
Gerard Wilcher tweeted a photo with a statement looking towards the next season.
“Great finish to a tough 2023 and a great look into 2024!”
