Episode Synopsis

This week on Let's Talk, Carl goes solo and sits down with Earl Monroe, a former football player at the University of Miami and a pivotal figure in the history of West Virginia State University's football program. Starting his coaching career as a part-time assistant at WVSU in 1987, Monroe worked his way up to become the Defensive Coordinator in 1996 under Carl's leadership. Monroe played a crucial role in shaping the Yellow Jackets' defense and helped lead them to consistent conference success. As head coach, he guided WVSU to back-to-back winning seasons in 2007 and 2008, and the program's first-ever NCAA Division II national ranking. Tune in as Carl and Earl discuss Monroe's journey, his leadership philosophy, and how he helped elevate the WVSU football program to new heights.
