Northwestern State has canceled the remainder of its football season. University President Marcus Jones says the decision stems from its need to attend to the mental health of its players in the wake of the shooting death of safety Ronnie Caldwell. Coach Brad Laird also has resigned.
NATCHITOCHES, La. — Northwestern State has canceled the remainder of its football season, citing the need to attend to the mental health of its players in the wake of the shooting death of safety Ronnie Caldwell.
“I don’t feel I can give my all to these players or this program,” Laird said in a statement released by the university. “Any coach will tell you that their players become like family. So, the loss of Ronnie was like losing a son. I love this program and this university and I know it will persevere and move forward with the competitive spirit that is at the core of our DNA.”No.
The university announced that defensive coordinator Weston Glaser would step in as interim head coach while the athletic department begins an immediate search for its next head coach.
