Texas Southern to make head coaching change

I wonder if Coach Tremaine Jackson would be in the mix here. He played at Texas Southern and has roots in the area. I hope not!

Let’s hope not for Blazer fans. A new coach can be exciting but you never know what you are going to get. But let’s hope he stays plus DSU likes playing him.

Elevating to an FCS school, and it's his alma mater, that would be pretty cool for him. That said, I think he has a good thing going at Valdosta. A young QB and a stable program. He can definitely wait for better offers, if he's interested in moving up.

Probably being an Alum, and the pay raise wouldn't enter into his consideration.

He’s mentioned in this Texas football blog. It’s behind a paywall, though.

A source with knowledge of the search indicated that Texas Southern has focused on former HBCU coach and current Tennessee running backs coach Jerry Mack, Benedict coach Chennis Berry, Valdosta State coach Tremaine Jackson and Alcorn State coach Fred McNair.
….
The school, the source said, “is high” on Jackson, who led Valdosta State to a 12-2 record and Division II postseason quarterfinal appearance this past season.

I wonder if Dean would return to Valdosta if Jackson is hired at Texas Southern?

Don’t give Valdosta any ideas!

I wonder if he would be asked.

Good question. Possibly with our current AD retiring, it's a possibility. I like the direction our program is going with the current staff though. Maybe he'll stay. I wonder how many we'll lose in the portal?
