Vanderbilt defensive backs coach Dan Jackson will “step back” from his job with the program while the university continues to conduct an internal review into his recent social media comments defending Ye, Vanderbilt athletic director Candice Lee said Monday.
In a statement released Monday night, Lee said that Vanderbilt had received several questions and concerns over Jackson’s comments on Facebook in which he said Ye was “two steps ahead of everyone else.”
The rapper, formerly known as Kanye West, has shared a string of antisemitic statements in recent weeks, including that he planned to go “death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE.”
