That's the rumor. He's going after other NFL guys too for coaching positions.
This is either going to be the greatest experiment in college football or a total disaster.

Smoooooooooooot!!!! Make it happen!!!!!!
Could be real interesting - get a group of well respected former teammates and friends (who made bank, so the salaries isn't an issue) and give them an alternate route to get into coaching. Give me Prime Time as HC, TO at WR, Donovan McNabb as QB coach, Warren Sapp on the OL, Smoot for the DB's, Jesse Tuggle to coach LB's, Charles Haley coach DL, Emmett Smith to coach RB's. And make it the replacement for Last Chance U on Netflix.
He said today that they sent out a ton of offers yesterday, "and not to low level kids...to the biggest recruits in the country."
They're saying there will be a movement where top level athletes are going to start choosing HBCU's.
I ain't buying that even a little bit.
good luck getting those millionaires to move to Jackson, MS
Too many egos. There will be a fight a week. Should be fun to watch
It's like I've said since all this started, this is going to be an unmitigated disaster and I hope we get a reality show out of it. No top recruit is going to forgo playing at Bama, USC, OSU, etc. to come play against Prairie View at the Vet in front of 10K people. If he's smart, which I'm not convinced he is, he'll go after JUCO guys and guys in the G5 who are looking to take a step down.
However, none of that solves the fact that I don't believe he's a very good coach. This guy is an OC at a high school in TX and couldn't call an offense to beat an MAIS team. And that's not a knock on MRA, but with all the D1 athletes they supposedly have it shouldn't be rocket science to figure out how to win against an overmatched opponent.
Another thing he said was that JSU averages 33,000 fans at their games. What? He might should have fact checked that first. JSU is not out drawing USM are they? I admittedly haven't been to a game to see if that's true, but I cannot fathom them having 33k fans at every game.
