JSU fired head football coach Rick Comegy and his staff. Ouch. JSU went to five SWAC champeenship games under his tenure. JSU issued the following press release:
JACKSON, Miss.) – Jackson State University will replace head
football Coach Rick Comegy, the university announced today.
A search
for Comegy’s successor will begin immediately, JSU Director of Athletics Vivian
L. Fuller said.
“We are grateful
to Coach Comegy and his staff for their service to Jackson State,” Fuller said.
“We appreciate the work he has done with JSU athletics and we wish him well.”
Comegy was
55-35 in eight seasons at JSU.

Did anyone remind them of
Jeff Bower USM since?
Why? Football success is more of an idol than any other kind of achievement.
They must have had something on him. He was successful and a sometime champion.
Too many white quarterbacks.
And a Merry Christmas to you (as you walk out the door).
JSU is an incredibly poorly run organization. No parking on campus, constantly being sued for civil rights violations, firing a winning coach. Little regard for the safety of students. Parts of the campus thrust into some of the worst, and most dangerous, areas of Jackson. The college board needs to clean house and get that school remedied.
4:10 need to clean house with college board--look at all of the problems that they have caused at Southern Miss, Alcorn, Valley. There was even a conflict of interest case with board member and Southern Miss and nothing was accomplished.
I wonder if the coaches' termination rate could have anything to with the low graduation rates of the players? If you remember the school was put on notice that they would lose the ability to sign players if rate did not increase.
Since Valley is having some success with a white coach. Will the university from The Bold New City go the same route and get a white coach. It would show diversity. Or will the University still be depended up on its racial background.
The real question here is will Jackson State go to the legislature for the $50,000 buyout money?
JSU needs a new spokesperson. That Eric Stringfellow is an unfortunate looking.
Look at his record. Solid mediocrity 'cept for one season.
The white coach is at Alcorn. WAPT reporting Jackson's police chief to help lead the search. They should just ask Big Ken or Robert Graham if they "know somebody".
What's Sylvester Croom up to these days?
Word on the street is that Comegy was being considered by Texas once it became clear Saban was out of the running and JSU knew they couldn't afford to keep him so they decided to go ahead and cut their losses.
I am telling you he got canned for having too many white quarterbacks. Now if they could just find a brother to kick!
Rumor has it JSU alumni are building the pot to recruit Dan Mullen and move their home games to Scott Field.
Word on the street is half of you are full of shit. On another note, Eric Stringfellow, whom the black community refers to as mushmouth, is the spokesperson for this state institution of higher learning? God help us all. What the hell is he saying? He's giving Stokes a run for the money.
I would pay good money to hear Eric and Kenny sing a duet. LaRooter could accompany on the tuba.
I saw the TV comments, and I think he was saying POLITICS is alive and well at JSU. To use plain language may jeopardize his position. Could there have been a lack of chemistry between Comegy and the new athletic director?
They need to hire him at Ole Miss.
Too many liberal lawyers up there. He would have to have another degree or two to run with that crowd.
LaRooter on Tuba. Now that is funny as hell! Just don't give that woman no pair of cymbals!
Would be nice if we could get rid of politicians as fast as they can get rid of coaches................
