Former #NFL Pro Bowler Desean Jackson will become the next Head Coach at Delaware State. MEAC about to be LIT!!!!
- Thread starter DC_Dude
- Start date
Smh
This is the most important part. Most good coaches were bottom of the barrel players. They learned the game.
It's very rare that great players make great coaches because great players had natural talent and they can't comprehend players not being able to do the shit that they did naturally and they struggle to teach those who can't pick it up.
It's frustrating.
that dude in Colorado is an exception
Great player, great translator and greater Motivator
Not if things continue to work out for him that’s another story
Deion Sanders is the exception to the rule, and I don't think he's really that great of a coach. And let's see how he does the next couple years without his son at QB
How does the saying go? There's the exception to every rule but the rule is the rule for a reason
I saw him recently on a podcast and like you say, nothing screamed coach young black men.
That being said, I was watching the news and saw a guy and nothing screamed POTUS.
I support Coach Jackson, and wish him the best.
Carry on……
I am curious to know who he will add to his staff, but this hire I believe from following HBCU Sports, is about trying something different....
Delware State is at the bottom of the MEAC and has hired the "traditional HC" for several years. Why not go out the box and hire a non traditional coach....
The MEAC has the largest amount of student athletes from the state of California in football compared to all other HBCU conferences...
Same as Norfolk State despite having the largest stadium in the entire MEAC...When you are always at the bottom, sometimes you have to do something outside of the box and take a risk to see if you change things around....
More maybe at play with the MEAC preparing to re-up on their media rights as well....
It's funny to see people make comments online that don't even follow HBCU Sports at all with this hire and the Vick hire....
Trent Dilfer got hired at UAB with ZERO HC experience at the college level, but Vick/Desean get HC jobs, the world is about to end.....Funny

that's what derailed Magic Johnson when he briefly coached the lakers. i think he realized this, and never coached again if i recall correctly.
The first thing he should do is call Ed Reed for advice, and whatever Ed Reed tell him to do, do the opposite.
I hear ya hometeam... But I wouldnt group the two. I didnt hear much criticism of the Vick hire here. But DJ, on its face, looks like a horrible decision. Ive just never seen him display any attribute i would want out of a HC of young men. I even recently heard him on one of those shitty ex-player podcast complaining about how coaches wanted to hold him accountable.
Trent Dilfer was a high school coach from 2019 - 2022 and was very successful

With a whole non black wife though
1000% agree cuz.I hear ya hometeam... But I wouldnt group the two. I didnt hear much criticism of the Vick hire here. But DJ, on its face, looks like a horrible decision.

That’s why I mentioned it’s important to see who will be on his staff.
Some are speculating that Rod Milstead could be on his staff who played in the NFL, was a coach there for 4 years and knows how to recruit in the area.
I get the optics doesn’t look, but there were solid points made for it on Off Script podcast today and they cover all HBCU media sports.
hope it works out
Hue failed mainly due to not being able to recruit well. I think Ed will get a job soon or atleast be a DC....

Yeah Trent was a bad example.
Eddie George was hired at Tennessee State and didn't have any HC experience and he turned that program around....
I would recommend anyone who isn't tuned into HBCU sports, you might want to listen to those who are to get a different POV.
Edit: Actually I meant to say college HC experience

This may be out of the box thinking but...remember when deion started at JSU during Covid? They postponed the season and played in the spring. Hbcus had a lot of eyes on them because no one else was playing then. I know there will be pushback but I would love to see hbcus play in the spring.. they would have a lot of eyes on them since there is on the ufl to watch. Just a suggestion.
I'd back a whole truck of money for Teddy Bridgewater.
Trust and believe a lot of schools wanted him.
