Or maybe another successful season at VSU would result in a better job offer.

Or he could've stayed, had injuries to key guys, had an average season and zero job offers.

One would have to be an absolute fool to turn down the opportunity and the money it comes with. To think it's not an upgrade is wild. Say he's there 3 years, that's experience at that level plus an extra $300k of income. Sounds like an easy choice.

On top of that, let’s say it doesn’t work and no renewal. That doesn’t mean he’s out of coaching… take the opportunity if it’s right for your family. Pretty simple.

Take the money!!! U doubt he’ll have any success at Prairie View. If he he has one decent season and his talent is seen on the field the big boys will lure them to the transfer portal asap.

Last HC got a schooling on this. Little NIL $$$ to keep talent.

Besides that, PVAM doesn’t have a tradition of winning either.

Good luck to the new HC. PVAM is little better than Patriot League football.

At the end of the day it's a lot better than any D2 job. Simple as that.

Recent history is about three years for head coaches.

Over $100k a year salary increase is a bit of an upgrade.

You'd have lack any and all self-confidence to have that attitude about the opportunity.

Short term yes, not as much if you only last a few years.

It doesn't seem like PVAM is much of an upgrade, if any, over Valdosta State. They do have a nice $60mm stadium though.

Here's their schedule from last year. Being blown out by Incarnate Word is not impressive. However they did get by Commerce.

Yeah but it's DEE-ONE!

During the game, I believe I heard an announcer mention that Jackson hired 11 coaches and brought in 60 transfers.

Literally right after the championship game it was reported Jackson was taking the Prairie View A&M job.

Makes you wonder if the kids knew or if the story was leaked and caused a distraction?

I see that Tremaine Jackson has been chosen D2 COTY. Didn't McB pass over him to choose Hughes?

Maybe WT could money whip Pueblo DC into coming. Sure looks like a huge boost to the defense and to recruiting

Hughes had better defenses, you should give him another shot.
