Tremaine Jackson, a first-year coach at an HBCU college, has achieved a remarkable feat by leading his team to win the SWAC West Title. After a convincing victory over the University of Arkansas Pine Bluff, the football team of Prairie View A&M University, under Jackson's leadership, has secured their spot in the SWAC playoffs.
During his introduction as the new coach, Jackson made it clear that his goal was to win the division and ultimately, the national championship. And with this recent victory, it seems like he is well on his way to achieving his goal.
In his own words, "It's time. It's time for us to win the SWAC, to play in the Celebration Bowl, and to bring home the national championship, whether it's through winning the Celebration Bowl or the FCS national championship. It's just time." His determination and ambition have been evident from the very beginning, and now, they have translated into tangible results.
The team's remarkable turnaround is also worth mentioning, having finished last season with a record of 5-7. And now, they are set to face off against Jackson State University on December 6th for the SWAC title, with the winner earning the chance to compete for the national championship in the Celebration Bowl against South Carolina State University. It is worth noting that Jackson State was the winner of last year's Celebration Bowl.
Jackson's impressive coaching skills have not gone unnoticed, as he has been nominated for the Eddie Robinson Award, which is given to the FCS Coach of the Year. He shares the nomination with another first-year HBCU coach, DeSean Jackson of Delaware State University. It is heartening to see two Black rookie coaches being recognized for their outstanding work, especially after the recent success of former Jackson State head coach Deion Sanders, who has brought a lot of attention to HBCUs.
All in all, things are looking up for Tremaine Jackson and his team at Prairie View A&M University. With his leadership and the team's hard work, they have the potential to bring home not just the SWAC title, but also the national championship. And that, my friends, is definitely a good start.
