SUMMARY: Jackson State head football coach TK Taylor will have an even more active role on the sidelines on the Talking Sports Live broadcast with Rob Jay and Jamie Horton. Taylor will be calling plays for the offense this season, drawing from his experience as an offensive coordinator. With last year’s offensive coordinator Maurice Harris joining Auburn’s staff, Taylor is stepping up to lead JSU’s offense. He believes that if the team can score around 30 points per game, they have a good chance at playing for a championship. Taylor is excited to take on this role and showcase his skills as a play caller. Additionally, Wisconsin linebacker Chris Aura has been hired as JSU’s new coach.
