Rogers to WSU - next man up

[jbjack]

Something called Robert Nelson is breaking on twitter that Dan Jackson it is. Kyle from splitting hairs chimes in and says that unless you hear it from him, JI, Borg, Zim or Tanner, don't run with it "just yet." I would guess that with what we are seeing, and the players declaring their intentions to stay or go in the last hour, and following DJ, he's our guy.

I was thinking South Dakota Board of Regents institution and the position would have to be publicly posted and maybe for X time, but Stig retired on a Thursday and Jimmy was introduced on a Friday.

USD assistant coach listing posted 12/27 and the first consideration date is 1/3/25

USD also announced promotions at the same time Davis was announced as FSU OC. I'm guessing there are posting exceptions for these jobs.

I'm apparently not seeing the white smoke/black smoke stuff. Carry on!

[jbjack]

Borg tweeting that he is confident new coach has been selected. He's probably looking at twitter white smoke too.

Are they not responding to the fact Greyton Gannon confirmed he is committed to "The Brotherhood"? Not sure I'm reading the same tea leaves that they have selected a coach.

Who knows for sure but using symbolism of indicating a new pope has been selected seems much more appropriate if a coach has been selected than hailing the indication that a player is staying.

He posted black smoke yesterday and now white smoke today (referring to the election of a new Pope). You are correct I could be reading into it incorrectly, but I don't know what a reference to the election of a Pope has to do with players staying...

Same thing from Quentin Christensen and Nick Wells.

Now JI white smoke tweets. I'm guessing we will know shortly.

Greyton Gannon with the Bunny Emoji tweet. I'm guessing something is about to happen...

Not to read a whole lot into it but a pretty solid sample of current players are following Dan Jackson on Twitter. A smaller number of the same sample are following Lujan but given his recency here, that makes more sense. Unless he was recruiting these guys at prior stops it seems a little unusual for Jackson to be on some of these guys' twitter. The simple explanation is that the players are hearing the same things we are and are taking a look at the candidates.

A couple of other names from Pioneer League. UNI hired the guy from Drake.

Glenn Caruso (St. Thomas)
Brandon Moore (San Diego)

In Justin Sell I trust. Just throwing names out.

Now if we only knew the mystery candidate. The quality of candidates is important, but the former players reaching out may be equally important. Hopefully that includes the recent players who have gone on to professional opportunities.

I misread this. If Michigan had Tom Brady reaching out to that high school quarterback, the active NFL Jacks need to be reaching out. Sorry Taryn and Jake.
