Then why Syracuse and not Pitt?
I guess because it would embarrass the admin and chancellor, by making it look like Pitt wants to be good at sports

I didn't want to be the first to say it. He would have to have at least 2-3 seasons of success at Jackson State. But if he does that and I like what I hear from his interview, then yes, I'd hire him here. But, again, I'd have to see much more of him and would want to make sure he is for real with this coaching thing.
Deion back to earth (or is it the other way around?)
What we learned: Alabama State football gives Deion Sanders and Jackson State first loss
The Hornets rallied behind 198 rushing yards and three touchdowns from Ezra Gray to beat the Tigers.

Seems to be the plan. Great recruiting head coach. Great coaching assistant coach.
The HC still needs to be a leader. Deion is a clown and we've already seen, what, two news stories in three games where it was focused on him?
JUST GET PLAYERS is the ONLY thing that matters, does anyone think Calipari is a great coach? No, he just get's the players.
I think he’s proven to be a great coach since he’s won everywhere he’s coached in college
Calipari is a very good coach. You don't beat the other blue bloods with the same blue chippers as you as regularly as Calipari does without being pretty damn good.
If he was at some other school, he wouldn't win near as big and he wouldn't have a lineup loaded with 5 stars.
🤨🤔He got to the Final Four at UMASS and Memphis. His top players were Marcus Camby and Derrick Rose.
What are you talking about?

If Cal is just an avg coach then Capel is HORRID the worst , if we are equalling their achievements
That's my point. You said he wouldn't have a lineup of 5 stars at those other teams.
I wasn't familiar with the star ratings as a child, but Cal definitely had top players at UMASS and Memphis. I stayed in Mass when Camby was there and there were other top players on that roster like Lou Roe, Derek Kellogg, and Puerto Rican players Edgar Padilla and Carmelo Travieso. Cal had tremendous talent at UMASS.
The Memphis teams were loaded with talent other than Rose...
Dorsey and CDR are the two other top players I remember on that team.
Nick Saban sucks too. He just knows how to get good players. If he were at Pitt, I think he would likely average only 10.5 wins per year.
so back to the subject of this thread, Prime Time ... his Jackson State Tigers lost on Saturday, so they are 3-1. They have defeated winless Grambling (0-3), winless Mississippi Valley State (although MVSU has only played one game), and Eddie Waters (NAIA until 2019). They lost to currently 1-1 Alabama A&M. I can't say that Deion is my pick to ascend the college football coaching ranks and be the guy to lead the next great dynasty.
I'd like to see this more in basketball where you only need a couple players to be really good. I've always kind of thought a higher profile coach should take an HBCU job and see if he could build it into like a Wichita State/VCU.
Like say umass or Memphis ?
You’re dumb
Calipari is the basketball equivalent of Urban Meyer-
He can win from any program because he’s a great coach
Does Faulk have ANY coaching experience? While these colleges think making hall of famers their next head coach is going to get them lots of wins... an actual good head coach who was barely a decent player will beat them.
It's more about generating buzz around the school. Stimulating interest and donations 💰to the school.
Folks are talking about these schools now, when they weren't before.
I'm seeing multiple Jackson St games on national tv. That's exposure these schools were not getting before. All of this exposure translates to possible increases in enrollment and funding. Think big picture.
Yeah, but the big reason you are seeing that is because they played in the spring, when the big boys weren't playing. Next year when they go back to playing in the fall you aren't going to be seeing many Jackson State games on national tv.
The majority of the general public would not be aware of these games if Sanders wasn't there. I highly doubt ESPN would bother to air as much games without Sanders. They would all be streamed and maybe at least 1 or 2 tape delayed on ESPNU.

Well sure. And that's exactly how you are going to see their games next year when they go back to playing in the fall. The games will be streamed, and ESPNU frequently shows a tape delayed HBCU game late on Saturday nights. That's what they will be back to, even with Sanders on the sidelines.
ESPN is not showing Jackson State - Alabama State instead of Wisconsin - Iowa or Pitt - Virginia or Florida - Mississippi, no matter who is coaching Jackson State.
