A true story of descending from a prominent position to rock bottom with a bounce-back. <br /><br />Throw in the fact that Southern is the first Division 1-A school in the state to have a black president.

Meanwhile, JSU fires a head coach who was winning. JSU boosters told <i>JJ</i> at the time that Comegy was fired because he wasn't recruiting enough "local" players. Homeboy hires rarely work out and JSU is no exception. Stick Harold Jackson next to Rocky Felker on the shelf of such busts. Staying in the "family" meant a good man was turned into a family disgrace. Kingfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06184990110961727404noreply@blogger.com
