Harold Jackson a primary target in Jackson State coaching search

JACKSON, Mississippi  -- Jackson State may be turning to its past for its next football coach.

Harold Jackson, a former JSU wide receiver who later starred in the NFL, has emerged as perhaps the leading candidate in Jackson State’s football coach search. Jackson, who has held assistant coaching jobs in the NFL and at major colleges, has applied for the opening and is expected to travel to Jackson today.

A source with knowledge of the search committee’s thinking has told The Clarion-Ledger that Jackson is expected to become the next Jackson State coach. Footballscoop.com also tweeted on Friday that Jackson would be hired by Jackson State, perhaps as early as Monday.
