Reality TV star, ex-rapper to coach football in Miami
Prior to that, she was a track and field and basketball standout at Miami Northwestern, and she went on to play basketball and earn a degree at Tennessee State.
Brunson, 38, gained notoriety in recent years on the reality TV series “South Beach Tow” where she starred as her alter-ego Bernice. Campbell spent the past two seasons at Miami Norland as the school’s defensive coordinator and also coached defenses at Northwestern and Central in Miami.
Jackson announced the hiring of Lakatriona “Kay Kay” Brunson to be its next head football coach and Luther “Uncle Luke” Campbell as associate head coach and defensive coordinator Monday afternoon in a press conference in the school’s media center.
‘We’re just here to change the atmosphere at Miami Jackson and get some W’s on the board. I know I’m a woman, but I know that I can do the job here. Watch what we’re going to do.
‘We’re not here to talk about music or reality TV. “After the head coach stepped down, I kinda like took a look and ‘Why can’t I do it?’ and today, it’s true”, Brunson said. If they want to talk football let’s go. No, she does not have a bunch of Coaching Experience–but she has experience playing football, Brunson played for the Miami Fury of the Women’s Independent League several years ago. “I’m ready to fight, ready to get these guys prepared and ready to win”. “I didn’t want to be a part of no circus”.
This past season, two Norland players – linebackers Emmett Rice (FSU) and Vosean Joseph (Florida) – signed with major FBS programs.
