[edit] Florida A&M

In July 2005, Carter replaced Billy Joe to become the new head coach at Florida A&M University. In the 2005 and 2006 seasons, Carter compiled 6–5 and 7–4 records, respectively. After compiling a 3-8 record in the 2007 season, Florida A&M fired Carter, citing that the university needed to "move in a new direction" by winning more games and generating more money.[1]
