THE CONTROVERSY: HBCUs HIRING NFL ICONS AS HEAD FOOTBALL COACHES, WITHOUT PREVIOUS COLLEGE COACHING EXPERIENCE
Written by Billy Joe
First, I believe identifying this paradigm, Deion Sanders at Jackson State University and Eddie George at Tennessee State University, as a controversy is a misnomer. In my opinion, it is an experiment, and I am certainly hopeful that this experiment is a smashing success. This experiment has been provoking an intense reaction from the black sports community, and I hope my article presents more than an adequate case in support of the recruitment of these NFL superstars.
Black college presidents and athletic directors can’t lament, they must realize that something very innovative and inventive needs to be done to prevent the quality of black college football from descending further into a dismal and an incomprehensible cosmic black hole. It’s a morbid point but HBCU football needs a vitamin B-12 injection!
HBCU supporters should not be skeptical or apprehensive about the existential motives of these great NFL players. No previous college coaching experience on their resume should not be a litmus test for these guys. Who cares if these rich NFL superstars are using a truncated HBCU football career as a stepping stone to acquire a head coaching position with a major historically white college or university (HWCU). Who cares if their protracted college football playing career was not at an HBCU, or they graduated from an HWCU. I am definitely a proponent of giving this experiment a chance to be successful, because black college football has lost its lure for top, five star recruits. The allure of just playing for an HBCU is not viable enough to attract the great football players anymore. These NFL superstars may be wealthy dilettantes, but for some unfathomable reason, I believe these guys care about HBCU football enough to use their philanthropy and make a genuinely concerted effort to recruit great football players. I believe they are on a crusade to rejuvenate black college football by recruiting quality student-athletes. Therefore, don’t let anyone obfuscate the facts about these guys or assuage your need to know the truth; there is nothing nefarious about these guys. But, soon enough, Sanders and George will know that heavy is the head that wears the crown of an HBCU Football Coach.
