“The Right People on the Bus”: Coach Tremaine Jackson on Prairie View’s Turnaround
Coach Tremaine Jackson breaks down how a complete culture shift and “getting the right people on the bus” turned Prairie View A&M’s football program around.
The Defender’s Terrance Harris asks Prairie View A&M head football coach Tremaine Jackson what’s behind the Panthers’ recent wins.
Jackson credits a culture change: getting “grown people with bad attitudes” out of the building and surrounding players with people who want them to succeed. “The one group of people you cannot fool is kids,” he says. He also talks about a battered and bruised roster heading into a week off, and how he plans to keep his team hardened for the stretch ahead.
