Jaguars legend Jimmy Smith wants to coach with Deion Sanders at Jackson State University

Jacksonville Jaguars legend Jimmy Smith wants to join Deion Sanders’ coaching staff at Jackson State University.

“I would almost give my left arm to be a part of this staff,” Smith told TMZ Sports on Tuesday after Sanders was announced as the new head coach.

Jackson State holds a special place in Smith’s heart — he played there for four years from 1988-1991 and finished his college career with 110 receptions, 2,073 yards and 16 touchdowns. In 2011, he was named to the Jackson State University All-Century team.

And now that Sanders is the head coach, Smith is going to do everything he can to be a part of the team.
