DAYTONA BEACH, Florida -- This offseason when members of the Bethune-Cookman football coaching staff traveled the state on their recruiting rounds, they had a bit more of a swagger in their step.
The Wildcats, under the guidance of fifth-year head coach Brian Jenkins, have established quite a winning attitude and atmosphere at the Daytona Beach school and it’s starting to catch on.
Not only did the Wildcats win their second straight MEAC title a year ago, and third in the past four seasons, but B-CU also knocked off FIU, its first victory over a Football Bowl Subdivision opponent. In fact, the Wildcats hit the recruiting path with this little nugget as a selling point: B-CU, at 37-11, is the second-winningest college football program in Florida over the past four years. FSU is 45-10, UCF 36-15, UF 30-21 and UM 29-21.
The Wildcats have qualified for the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs in three of those four years. Jenkins took over the program after the Wildcats went 5-6 in 2009. Now winning is expected at B-CU.
