  • I just don't get the argument that his job is to put the best players on the field for his new team, and he can't worry about the feelings of his old university. I mean this as no disrespect to the players heading to WSU obviously, as I would love to have them back, but is filling a P4 roster will 25 percent FCS players really doing the best possible job you can? How many non-SDSU players has he brought in from the portal?

      Is that what he said?

      • We all should be excited about the kind of people Chase and Quentin are and the story that they are going to write!

        • This site keeps having trouble loading for me, and wouldn't for a decent stretch from last night to this morning. I'm glad it's back! I was starting to get worried this got Jimmied too...

          • It would be very easy to feel disenfranchised or abandoned through this whole debacle. I mean, how couldn't you as a fan?! To watch 23 guys go to WSU (16 of which are current players, 7+ starters) and 8+ others leave the program entirely... and I'm sure those numbers may still go up too.... it's nearly impossible to not feel like the program Stig built is gone. I know I asked myself the past couple weeks, "what's the point of all this? Why would I continue to support this state of college athletics?"

            However... the true Jackrabbit spirit and culture is alive and well, and Chase and Quentin are proving that. Yes, the team is going to look DRASTICALLY different next year, but I believe Coach Jackson, the other coaches, and the actually committed student athletes will continue to make this a special place.

            The guys that remain still deserve our ardent support, even more so than ever, and I for one will still be in the stands next year giving them the loudest cheer I possibly can.

            In the words of Chase Mason, "I don't really care what anybody thinks about SDSU football on the outside. I just know what guys are coming back, and what we're going to have next year. It's going to be something special to watch."

            Go Jacks!

              • I’d keep an eye on Spencer Erickson for LB or DL coach.

                I believe he started as a grad assistant at SDSU. Was DL coach for a year at Winona State under Bergy and then LBs/DC last season.

                    Nothing was working for me. I was worried I got banned for one too many SDSU ice cream references

                      Eventually moved up to Asst. DL/Director of Player Personnel. Would definitely seem logical he'd be candidate to return

                      • Another great video from Tanner Castora, in which he takes responsibility not reaching out to Jimmy Rogers after he initially asked for interview with Rogers after he'd been hired at WSU and Jimmy said he didn't have time, which led to Castora thinking Rogers also wouldn't have time when he was writing article about Mason and Castora.

                        Also details anecdotes from Ernest Jones, a former NFL player, who trained Jimmy and Stig who noted Jimmy's unmatched tenacity and devotion to film study, etc.

                        Tanner said Rogers and staff treated him well, and Castora says he didn't treat them as he'd like to be treated. Not sure I'd go that far, but Tanner saying so on the record says alot about him.

                        He ended by saying he thinks teams and fans this upcoming season will have pride in Jacks that might be unlike any we've seen.
