The Texas High School Coaches Association’s annual coaching school and convention, which wrapped up Tuesday in Houston, is one of the most important events on the Lone Star State’s football calendar.Roughly 17,000 high school coaches across all sports — with football coaches representing the most significant chunk of attendees — zigzagged through the George R. Brown Convention Center to network and hear from people at the top of their profession, including college coaches at top-25 programs like Texas, Texas A&M and Texas Tech.But there’s a championship-winning coach whose staff members didn’t speak during the three-day event, and he offered a full-throated criticism of the omission as part of his ongoing effort to garner respect for his program and Historically Black College and University football.Prairie View A&M coach Tremaine Jackson took exception with what he called “disrespect” of his coaching staff and HBCU football when members of the Panthers’ staff were not invited to speak at the THSCA convention after a historic 2025 season for the Panthers.Jackson, who led Prairie View to the 2025 Southwest Athletic Conference title and an appearance in the Celebration Bowl, posted a three-minute video on his social media accounts late Tuesday night venting about the omission. The Panthers went 10-4 last season — Jackson’s first as PV’s head coach — won the SWAC for the first time since 2009 and lost 40-38 to South Carolina State in the Celebration Bowl, which is considered the HBCU national championship game.Jackson, whose staff attended the convention, prefaced his comments with praise for the THSCA and its event, calling it “phenomenal” before critiquing the lack of speaker invitations for his staff.
