Two assistant coaches are leaving the JSU football staff

JACKSON, Mississippi -- Changes to the Jackson State football staff are on the way.

Co-offensive coordinator and lead recruiter Chad Germany confirmed to the Clarion Ledger Monday morning that he has moved on from JSU, and sources close to the situation say that tight ends coach Ricardo Grant is also leaving the program.

It is unclear whether the two coaches have left JSU for another job or whether they were relieved of their duties.

JSU head coach Tony Hughes declined to comment on the departures, including whether or not the search is currently underway to replace them.

Germany responded to a request for comment via text Monday. He said removing himself from the equation at Jackson State was the right thing to do.

"Coach Hughes is a great man with a great vision for JSU football," he said. "And in no way will I allow myself to hinder the progress of the program. Change is good."
