For those of you following along, Sanders has been tied to the FCS program ever since the head coaching search started.
Now, it sounds like it’s going to be a done deal at any time. 2020 sure is a wild time to be a sports fan!
I’m not sure what Sanders’ long term goals are, but he is going to immediately put Jackson State on the map by becoming the head coach of the Tigers.
They’re going to go from an FCS program that nobody knew existed to must-watch football. Sanders is going to be an electric factory as a college football coach.
