Jackson State athletic director Ashley Robinson only had to look down the hall to find his next football coach. On Tuesday, he named wide receivers coach T.C. Taylor, to be Deion Sanders' successor.
Taylor checks an important box for Robinson — he is an offensive-minded coach. He was an offensive coordinator for two seasons and coached wide receivers this season under Sanders.
Taylor played quarterback and wide receiver at JSU from 1998-2001. In 19 games as a receiver, he caught 188 passes for 1,793 yards, setting the single-season school record with 84 receptions for 1,234 yards and 11 TDs as a senior. During his breakout season, he was named NCAA Division I-AA third-team All-American, while earning first-team Black College All-American honors.
