Former Green Bay Packers cornerback and first-round draft pick Terrell Buckley has been named head coach of the Mississippi Valley State University (MVSU) football team, an NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision program.

Former Packers cornerback Terrell Buckley, the No. 5 pick in the 1992 NFL Draft, has landed a head-coaching job in college football.

Terrell Buckley was named the new head coach of the Mississippi Valley State University Delta Devils football program. His recent coaching experience was 2023 as the XFL's Orlando Guardians head coach.

Dating back to 1978 when Division I college football split into I-A and I-AA, three programs have won college football national champions as an independent: Miami, Notre Dame and Penn State all did it.

When Ohio State beat Notre Dame 34-23, the College Football Playoff wrapped up its biggest postseason ever, and despite the high amount of blowouts, the 12-team playoff was a success. A season ago, seven teams were vying for a spot in the playoff during conference championship week.
