Ron Dickerson Jr. is the new football coach at Gardner-Webb University.
Dickerson, 39, was introduced at a news conference on campus this morning. He is the first African-American head football coach in Big South Conference history.
Most recently, Dickerson was receivers coach at Mississippi, where he worked under coach Houston Nutt. He was instrumental in developing NFL players Dexter McCluster, Mike Wallace and Shay Hodge.
"We have nowhere to go but up and it's going to be a fast ride. I'm ready for it," Dickerson said.
Dickerson replaces Steve Patton, who coached the Bulldogs for 14 seasons. Gardner-Webb went 4-7 in 2010.
