This week on SIAC Sit Down, Sly and Jamie welcome one of the most respected coaches in HBCU football, Edward Waters University Head Coach Brian Jenkins, for an in-depth conversation about his life, career, and vision for the Tigers.
Coach Jenkins takes us back to his roots in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, sharing how his passion for football led him into coaching and the mentors who helped shape his journey.
The conversation dives into his incredible run at Bethune-Cookman, where he built a championship culture and led the Wildcats to multiple conference titles while becoming one of the winningest coaches in HBCU football.
Coach Jenkins also discusses accepting the Edward Waters job just two weeks before fall camp, the challenges of stepping into a new program on short notice, and the opportunity to build something special in Jacksonville.
He shares his thoughts on working alongside Athletic Director Ashley Conner and President A. Zachary Faison, explaining why he believes the university is positioned for success both on and off the field.
Finally, Coach Jenkins lays out his vision for the upcoming season, the culture he's creating, and what Tiger fans can expect as Edward Waters continues to rise.
