From what I am hearing, the Strength Coach Houston is no longer part of the program? I hope this is not true, he was one of the few coaches that could identify with the African American Athletes! I hope this rumor is not true, if so, I want to know "WHY and WHAT was the reason behind him moving on? Which brings me to my next question... WHY IS JAVEN STILL AROUND, What value has he brought to this program? Why did we lose a very Good Strength and Conditional coach again; who from what I understand, express very good ideas to the table but it was never implemented? Also a former Washington Football Player, understand and knows what it takes to get to the next level!
USD Athletes need more then someone how tells them what to do, just like the new coaching staff, we need someone who will better our Athletes and understands them and will motivate them not de-motivate!

He's still listed on the staff directory. First I've heard of anything.

Pretty sure he is gone - don't know why. What's the issue with Javon?

He is not listed on the staff directory now it seems. Never heard of him until this topic was started.

USD Athletes need more then someone how tells them what to do, just like the new coaching staff, we need someone who will better our Athletes and understands them and will motivate them not de-motivate! Have never met the man. Heard only positive things about him. My guess is he got a better offer from another program and he took it. Can't blame him for that. I'm sure he was offered more than we could afford to pay an assistant strength coach. Jevon does a nice job with the strength program. There were NOTICEABLE improvements and gains when he took over that department. Even through the rough patch we've seen over the past few seasons, I've never felt like our guys were in worse shape or didn't have the same strength as the teams we match up against. Talent-wise may be a different story, but I am pretty sure the yotes are working just as hard in the weight room as the rest of the valley. I'm all for hiring top notch assistants and having the best strength staff possible, but I don't think that means firing Jevon and retaining a coach we can't afford because he "identifies with African American athletes". |

As a former college football player from the late 60's, I want what is best not only for my grandson but for all USD Athletes . I am not going to get into a lot of the details on here, but I can tell you this; from the direct feedback I have received, It was great to have someone in the weight room and on the field that the players could identify with and talk to without the negative demoralizing comments. I dealt with a lot of adversity while playing college football and expect young players to be treated equally and fairly. I also expect assistance coaches to be treated professionally and provided a good working environment that is worthy.
I will reframe from additional comments on this site in regards to this topic.
Be Blessed

Be Blessed I respect that opinion. I see the points you are making. My opinion is this. If their feelings are getting hurt, they need to toughen up or we need to find tougher guys. It's all part of college football, I played too by the way. If you can't take a little adversity and turn it into motivation, you may be in the wrong sport. The last thing we need is coaches coddling guys. |

No disrespect fightsd.. but you really don't have a clue what is going on... - its not about toughening up, its about being respected as a player and coach. - they have already displayed toughness by being on the field. |

Agreed. This is not something that can or should be handled on a message board.

Last post on this because it's obviously going nowhere. I was out of line in my last post and I apologize. It's fine if you disagree, but I'm a firm believer that respect is earned at the college level. Every kid on that team was a star player at their high school, as I'm sure your grandson was. But you don't earn respect in college by just showing up on campus. You take advantage of the opportunities you get to earn the respect of your teammates and coaches. An athlete that makes it to the college level will have dozens of coaches or more throughout their careers. They won't like all of them, and not all the coaches will like that particular athlete. Just the way it is. But just because an athlete doesn't like the way a coach does his job, it doesn't make him a bad coach. Again, I apologize, but I have a problem with people coming on these boards and calling for people's jobs because a player doesn't like them. |

I believe Jevon is well respected in his field by his peers, and lets not forget that he is not only training the football team but the entire athletic dept.
