The SIAC Sit Down: Thomas Howard’s Savannah State Blueprint:

On this episode of "The SIAC Sit Down", Sly The Sports Guy and Jamie Walker welcome new **Savannah State head football coach Thomas Howard** for a wide-ranging conversation about his coaching journey, his return to the SIAC and his vision for the Tigers. Howard reflects on his path from Morehouse to Allen, North Carolina A&T, South Carolina State, Alabama A&M, Fayetteville State and now Savannah State. He breaks down what made Savannah State the right fit, how he is attacking recruiting in Georgia and the surrounding region, and why community support will be central to rebuilding the program. The conversation also gets into the realities of becoming a first-time head coach, the importance of player relationships, building a winning mentality, spring football plans and the challenge of opening the season against major SIAC competition. Howard makes it clear: Savannah State wants to be fast, physical, disciplined and ready to make people “come down to Savannah and see about us.”  👉Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hbcugameday/   👉Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hbcugameday/?hl=en  👉Threads: https://www.threads.net/@hbcugameday  👉Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hbcu_gameday?lang=en  👉Twitter (X): https://twitter.com/HBCUGameday/   👉Website:  https://hbcugameday.com/    ============================= ✅  Recommended Playlists 👉 HBCU Basketball 2023-2024 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cRlYKN5dAA&list=PLf2l922yqAyU6JavURXQAYDPMLlct923L&pp=iAQB  👉 2023 Football https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mH202Srf0g&list=PLf2l922yqAyVkVoOwl-smsV0kTzSVgD2J&pp=iAQB  ✅  Other Videos You Might Be Interested In Watching:  👉 Grambling and other HBCUs still in March Madness   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cRlYKN5dAA  👉 SWAC Basketball Semifinals: Jackson State defeats UAPB   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_rYUVVoHRM  👉 SWAC Women's Basketball: Alcorn State vs Grambling   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1-wa6q1DN8  👉 West Virginia State alumna talks culture, sports at majority white HBCU   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zek_lL6w0Lg  👉 SWAC Women's Basketball: Jackson State vs UAPB   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_yfAZNus0M  ============================= ✅  About HBCUGameday.
