After a successful tenure as the Head Coach of the Cal Poly Humboldt men’s basketball team, Brandon Jackson has announced that he will be stepping away from the program. This decision comes as a shock to the University and the city of Arcata, as Jackson has been a beloved figure in the community and has led the team to multiple conference championships.
Jackson, who has been at the helm of the program for the past five years, has built a reputation for his passion, dedication, and commitment to his players. Under his guidance, the team has seen a significant improvement in its performance, and he has been credited with developing the skills and confidence of his players.
However, Jackson has stated that he feels it is time for a new chapter in his life, and he will be leaving the program to pursue new opportunities. “This was an incredibly difficult decision for me, as I have loved every moment of my time at Cal Poly Humboldt,” Jackson said in a statement. “I am grateful for the experiences and relationships I have had here, and I will always cherish the memories and accomplishments we have achieved together.”
The University has expressed its appreciation for Jackson’s dedication and service to the program, and it will be conducting a national search to find his replacement. The search committee will be led by Athletics Director, Kathryn Mathers, and will include a thorough review of candidates before making a decision.
The campus and community are saddened by Jackson’s departure, but they are excited to see what the future holds for him. “Brandon has been an amazing leader and mentor, and he will be missed,” said Mathers. “We are grateful for the time he spent here and wish him all the best in his future endeavors.”
As Jackson prepares to step away, he will be remembered for the impact he has had on the program and the community. His legacy will continue to be felt, and his influence will live on in the lives of the players he has coached and mentored.
