Send us a textDreams sometimes arrive at unexpected moments. For Coach Toriano Morgan, the call to return to Tennessee State University—his alma mater where he earned both his bachelor's and master's degrees—came at what seemed like an inopportune time. Yet when your dream job beckons, timing becomes secondary.Morgan candidly shares the whirlwind 48 hours that led to his transition from head coach at Edward Waters University to co-offensive coordinator and running backs coach at Tennessee State. Despite speculation about possible dissension at EWU, Morgan sets the record straight, expressing profound gratitude toward the institution that gave him his first collegiate head coaching opportunity. "EWU has been nothing but outstanding to me and my family," he emphasizes, noting the support he received to build the program.His coaching philosophy reveals a leader confident enough to surround himself not with yes-men, but with experienced coaches offering diverse perspectives. This approach not only served him well at Edward Waters but ensured the program remained in capable hands with interim head coach Brian Jenkins following his departure. Morgan reunites with head coach Reggie Barlow, with whom he previously worked at Virginia State University, creating a seamless transition built on established trust. "Everywhere he goes he doesn't just win, he wins championships," Morgan notes about Barlow.As Tennessee State prepares to defend their Ohio Valley Conference championship, Morgan brings valuable experience and a methodical "brick by brick" approach to building on last year's success. With his sights set on their opener against North Carolina A&T, and his long-term aspiration to eventually lead an HBCU Division I program, Morgan's homecoming to TSU represents both a full-circle moment and an exciting new chapter for Big Blue Tigers football.
