DAYTONA BEACH -- Bethune-Cookman football coach Brian Jenkins is one
of three finalists for the same position at Southern University, according to
the Jaguars' athletic director.
In a
series of text messages, Southern athletic director William Broussard said
Friday that Jenkins is among the school's “Final 3,'' but they “have not
confirmed a date for an on-campus visit.''
Broussard said earlier this week that he
planned to interview two or three finalists next week at the Baton Rouge, La.,
campus and then present his final choice to Southern's Board of Supervisors at
its meeting on Dec. 14.
Jenkins
could not be reached for comment Friday. But B-CU athletic director Lynn
Thompson said Friday night that he and Jenkins met Friday as the Wildcats hosted
recruits.
“Brian
and I had a great meeting,'' Thompson said. “We had a very frank discussion on
what we need to do to get to the next level as we try to reach our ultimate goal
of winning a national championship.
“I told
him I understand how it feels to be wanted and courted. But we're getting back
to business and we'll continue to do what we have been doing.''
