JACKSON, Mississippi -- The first season of Harold Jackson’s tenure as Jackson State coach was so tumultuous there was a change.org petition, which called for the firing of Jackson and then-athletic director Vivian Fuller.
The petition had 831 supporters.
Another petition, which had 424 supporters as of 3 p.m. on Monday, calling for Jackson’s job popped up following the Tigers’ 50-31 loss to Southern in their SWAC opener this past weekend.
“Harold Jackson Has (sic) turned Jackson State Universities (sic) football team into a laughingstock,” wrote Tim Jones, who created both petitions.
That’s some of the outside noise Jackson is trying to drown out after JSU, which hosts Texas Southern this weekend, fell to 0-3 for the first time since 2009 this past weekend.
