Coaching Staff Update

[bigticket1]

I wouldn't expect to hear anything official until after the late signing day on Wednesday.. It is odd that Jackson hasn't put anything up on Twitter for over a week.

Anyone know the story on Jackson? He has been very quiet on Twitter with the late round of recruiting coming to a close. Also Zimmer seemed to be purposely vague when his name was brought up in the latest chat.

Well his title is assistant head coach and also special teams coordinator. To me that’s good enough to become head coach. He’s a class act and heck of a recruiter.

I agree. I hope Jackson becomes the Jacks' next head coach in a couple of years, after Stig retires. Even if Jackson leaves for a season or two, I hope he comes back to succeed Stig.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Dan Jackson fan, but it's pretty unlikely he will be a Dovision 1 head coach without first being a coordinator or D2 head coach. Going from a position coach straoght to head coach is very rare.

The one I worry about is jackson. How he recruits would be hard to lose him.

I'd hate to have a staff of assistants that no other team wanted or pursued. That's certainly not the case with the Jackrabbits. Still, it hurts to lose the good ones.

Sounds like there will be more coaches on the move.

Looks like Coach Beal going to coach at his Alma Mater Montana St.

Re: Coaching Staff Update

Jimmy Beal was listed the RB coach in the roster sheet for the spring game. Spencer Erickson, former defensive quality control staffer, was listed as a defensive assistant. Dan Jackson carries the most titles, including assistant head coach. He also coaches cornerbacks and special teams, and is the recruiting coordinator.

Re: Coaching Staff Update

From the link posted about Coach Beal hire :

Beal spent time coaching running backs and tight ends for most of his career in Flagstaff, and was one of Northern Arizona's top recruiters during his time with the program.


It would seem odd if Coach Stig did not tap into this past experience.

Re: Coaching Staff Update

Is Arizona his recruiting area?

I don’t know. It makes sense to use his background for Arizona recruiting. Just saying. I would expect Coach Stig will have bunch of re-arranging amongst his recruiting assignments plus along with the unnamed coach.

Re: Coaching Staff Update

They are probably just waiting to fill the 2nd vacancy and will announce both together.

Re: Coaching Staff Update

There must be something of this nature holding up the announcement. None-the-less I would expect to see more recruits from Arizona with this addition. With head coaching changes, there are a number of good candidates out looking for a job.

Somewhat surprised it hasn’t been released unless there is a certain date they have to wait until they make it public.
