Have to agree on both points. He'll get a brief flash with his appointment as a Head Coach, but will need to show some substance down the road. The Wiki about him says he's had a couple of unsuccessful coaching stints at the "academy" and high school level ... but that's it. However, it also says he (finally) graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Talladega College. Talladega is a small, well-regarded HBCU school (it competes at the NAIA level in sports), so you have to give him credit for that.Hoops watcher said:More power to him if he can strengthen the program and school. He was a great player who had a somewhat annoying persona, but if you want your ego stroked and lots of publicity this wouldn't be your first choice. So two thumbs up IMHO. :thumb: :thumb:

Jackson State has been on ESPN a number of times. And not just about their football games ... but it's mostly been about their band (not the best in HBCU, but a good one), or their compliance issues. Pretty tall order to fix all that. Be interesting to see how it plays out once the glamor wears off.

And a lot of people who otherwise wouldn't pay attention to Jackson State football, will, now, to see what happens.

Good point, and true.
Wonder who the fastest person in the football program is?
Don't think Jackson St has ever produced a top football player. Over 5' 10".

Come on man, I would expect that you and Braves could ascertain a joke. Ever heard of Walter Payton? Note the reference to 5'10". Jeez, guys. Think before you post.

O.k. dipshit.
What answer did I get wrong. If you knew anything about football you would have heard of jimmy smith along with keenan mccardell and mark brunelle of the jaguars teams from the late 90's or jackie slater regarded as one of the greatest offensive lineman along with Anthony munoz, and Johnathan ogden.
Guess that's a little to much info. For you to process.
