The Jackson State football team has not had a winning season since 2013, but they have suddenly become arguably the most must-watch program in the country.
Deion Sanders was officially introduced as the head coach at Jackson State this week. As if that wasn’t enough fireworks for the program, Sanders is apparently assembling a coaching staff filled with Football Hall of Famers. Joe Cook of 16 WAPT News in Mississippi reports that Terrell Owens will be Sanders’ wide receivers coach and Warren Sapp will coach the defensive line.
Sanders has made no formal announcements yet about his staff, but he told reporters on Tuesday that all of the positions have been filled. He said the staff has over 80 years of combined NFL playing and coaching experience.
We knew from the entrance Sanders made at Jackson State on Monday that he is bringing his “Prime Time” personality to the team. What we didn’t know is that he would assemble a coaching staff that could make for an entertaining reality TV show. Jackson State should be fun to watch this season.
