He is married to Ronita "Myricks" Jackson, has 4 children and currently lives in Westerville, Ohio. Jackson has also been appointed by Ohio Governor John Kasich to the Ohio State Board of Education, an action which has created some controversy in Ohio among some educators who have voiced doubt that Jackson has the appropriate credentials for the position. In February 2023 Jackson was named as the head football coach at Westerville North High School.
