As Jackson State continues to pile up wins, the interest from Power 5 programs continues to grow for Tigers head coach Deion Sanders.
Jackson State shutout Southern, 35–0, Saturday that included a visit and celebration of HBCU culture from ESPN’s College Gameday prior to the contest. On Monday, two days after JSU’s dominant win, Auburn fired football coach Bryan Harsin after 21 games.
However, prior to Harsin’s departure, Sanders had been linked to the Auburn job at the beginning of October. When asked if the Tigers from The Plains had reached out to Sanders about becoming the program’s next coach during his weekly news conference, the Pro Football Hall of Famer skillfully dodged the question.
