Shake-up at Southern keeps Jackson State guessing

JACKSON, Mississippi - Jackson State football coach Rick Comegy can't remember entering a situation quite like the one that awaits the Tigers on Saturday.

JSU (1-2, 1-0 SWAC) will play its home opener at Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium on Saturday against Southern University. Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. That much he knows.

Outside of that, Comegy isn't sure what to expect when the Jaguars (0-2, 0-1 SWAC) arrive with a reshuffled coaching staff. Stump Mitchell, who was 6-18 in his third season as the Jags' coach, was re-assigned last Friday following SU's 6-0 loss to Mississippi Valley State on Thursday.

Defensive coordinator Dawson Odums was named the interim coach. On Monday, Odums announced that quarterbacks coach Chad Germany and running backs coach Elvis Joseph would be co-offensive coordinators and Germany would be responsible for play calling. Got that?
