Bethune-Cookman football head coach Brian Jenkins has been granted permission to speak with the University of Alabama-Birmingham to discuss their vacant head coaching position.

The UAB head coaching post became available when Garrick McGee resigned and accepted the offensive coordinator position at Louisville.

Last week, Jenkins was granted permission to speak with Jackson State officials about their vacant head coaching position but he later declined the interview.  Jenkins has accumulated a 37-11 record in his four seasons at B-CU collecting 3 MEAC titles in the process.
