DeSean Jackson and Michael Vick celebrate significant victories as college football head coaches

Two legendary figures from the Philadelphia Eagles’ past made waves on Saturday, each achieving a notable milestone in their coaching careers. DeSean Jackson and Michael Vick both secured their first wins as college football head coaches, marking a triumphant moment in their new roles.

DeSean Jackson’s thrilling comeback at Delaware State

In his inaugural season at the helm of Delaware State, Jackson’s team faced a challenging matchup against Albany. The game took a dramatic turn when Delaware State found itself trailing by two points with just 4:38 remaining. A weather delay added to the tension, halting the action for three hours, but the wait only heightened the excitement.

With 34 seconds left on the clock, Kaiden Bennett made an electrifying move, sprinting 27 yards for a touchdown that sealed a thrilling 37-32 victory for Jackson’s squad. This comeback victory not only showcased Jackson’s coaching potential but also highlighted the resilience of his team under pressure.

Michael Vick’s nail-biting overtime win at Norfolk State

Meanwhile, Vick was also making headlines in his second game as head coach at Norfolk State. His team faced a formidable challenge against Virginia State, needing overtime to clinch a 34-31 win. The game was a rollercoaster, as Norfolk State trailed 31-24 with just 2:15 left in the game. However, they rallied impressively, overcoming a 16-point deficit entering the fourth quarter to force the extra period.

The victory was a testament to Vick’s leadership and the grit of his players, reflecting the potential of what they can achieve together.

A notable Saturday for coaching milestones

While Jackson and Vick’s wins were significant, they were part of a larger narrative in college football that day. Notably, Bill Belichick also celebrated his first college coaching victory, further adding to the buzz surrounding new coaching tenures. However, for Jackson and Vick, their achievements resonate on a deeper level.

Both coaches have taken the reins at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), aiming to uplift and inspire the young men entrusted to their guidance. As they bask in the glow of their victories, it’s clear that their journeys are just beginning, filled with promise and potential.

This Saturday marked a meaningful turning point for Jackson and Vick, setting the stage for what could be a transformative era in their coaching careers.
