Solomon: Deion Sanders opened the door for others to spotlight HBCUs
But HBCUs would be smart to take advantage of the avenue for advancement that he demonstrated in his stint at Jackson State.Three sources have confirmed that a former NFL superstar has expressed strong interest in coaching Texas Southern University’s football team.Sanders leaving Jackson State University to take the head coaching job at the University of Colorado is the most talked about upward move in college football history.
Barbershops, bars, churches, even national morning news shows have taken time to discuss this exit as if it is a moral issue rather than a sports or money matter. Prime Time wasn’t the one for a long-term stint at a school where on occasion he had to pull up on a tractor and cut the grass on the practice field.
Sanders is great at being Sanders, and he is one heck of a football coach. But if the only way Jackson State can be win at football is with Prime Time on the sidelines, then perhaps they don’t need a football program.The Tigers’ current head coach Clarence McKinney is a coaching lifer and he just led TSU to a very good season.
