JACKSON, Mississippi -- The Clarion-Ledger confirmed that Jackson State requested to speak with Bethune-Cookman’s Brian Jenkins about its head football coaching vacancy.

Late Tuesday night, JSU athletic director Vivian Fuller contacted B-CU athletic director Lynn W. Thompson, who granted JSU permission.

“However, Coach Jenkins is in the first year of a new contract with us at B-CU,” Thompson said in a statement. “We recognize that his success has become attractive to other universities. However, based on our conversations, we feel that Coach Jenkins is committed to continue his quest towards winning a national championship here at Bethune-Cookman University.”
