Jackson, Mississippi - Jackson State offensive coordinator James Woody, offensive line coach Bruce Johnson and director of football operations Jack Bush have been fired.

The school announced the firings Tuesday in a press release.

"This will give us the opportunity to take the program in a new direction," head coach Rick Comegy said in a written statement.

Comegy and his staff took over the program in 2006, won the SWAC championship in 2007 and returned to the title game in 2008.

But the offense has steadily declined averaging 21.1 points in 2008 and just 13.9 this year, 109th nationally among teams in the Championship Subdivision. The Tigers finished with a 3-7 record.
