DAYTONA BEACH, Florida - Brian Jenkins makes no secret about how badly he's pining for a championship.Just a few days before his Bethune Cookman University football team rebounded from a 21-0 deficit to beat Alabama State in the MEAC/SWAC Challenge Sunday, Jenkins told reporters during his first weekly press conference that he was less than impressed with his 18-5 record he'd built during his first two years as the head coach.
"I hate those five games we lost more than the 18 games we won," Jenkins quipped toward me when I asked him if he was content with his early tenure with the Wildcats football program. "Whenever I become satisfied with 8-3 seasons then I need to get out of coaching."
Normally, that type of response would make me nervous. In today's morally challenged environment of college sports, that answer reeks of a power hungry leader willing to sacrifice anything to win. Thankfully, that's not the case with Jenkins.
