Wish List for Action Jackson's Staff

[Jackrabbit2012]

announced on twitter an hour ago. Home emoji, red pin emoji @DanJackson #GojacksFB

Eidsness following him within an hour give or take on either side of announcement is interesting. Jack Nash following Eidsness now too

Cooper following Benedetto is a little curious

Yea it is starting to look like a possibility with Eidsness. Not quite sure how i feel about that one.

I think these players have a pretty good idea who they are going to be playing for. Stig said in his interview with Gaskins that it will take a while to get the staff onboarded through admin and I thought said something to the effect that they'll start working returning players and recruits before anything is official (as we've seen with our outgoing staff doing likewise). Twitter is definitely one tea leave and a savvy user (I don't fit that descriptions) can probably derive a pretty good list of users by looking at our players and seeing who they are following in the last day or so and who is following them back and tying all the pieces together.

He is also followed by Schlimgen and Schemenko. Our 2 biggest recruits left IMO.

JI lists quite a few of our recruiting class as re-affirming. Neither of these guys just yet. Still, the list is pretty encouraging. Isn't Schemenko a dyed in the wool SDSU kid?

Rich Wright (twitter) (wiki) would have been an interesting hire. The Northwest Missouri State HC's contract wasnt renewed. He was with the school for 21 years and was dline coach and DC before becoming HC. FootballScoop says he's expected to become D2 Central Missouri DC. Followed by Jackson

Eidsness may have been demoted this past year from the OC role, but I'll bet he's learned tons in his 5 years at the FBS level.

Deontae Cooper (twitter)

can see this individual being at least our RB's coach. following/followed by at least 5 commits
Former University of Washington RB and Captain, spent 5 years coaching HS and then this past year RB coach at Idaho. Didn't go to New Mexico.

Is it possible this guy is going to Wazzu in some capacity? Small sample size for sure, but I just looked at Trillion Sorel's (25 3* recruit) twitter and he's now following Cooper along with a whole bunch of WSU stuff, including the Cougar Collective. If nothing else, my guess is Sorel is gone from this class.

Cooper is now following Koby Bretz, the player specifically mentioned on the Nebraska podcast that the Jacks would presumably target. I think we're just seeing a courting battle take place. Like now, Vorhees is being followed by the WSU NIL collective and Dan Dykhouse, who I can only hope is somehow involved with NIL.

Later edit: To answer the question. It probably is possible. It could all just be one large recruiting battle. Cooper could also be on people for Idaho. Cooper just followed the former KSU/NDSU DB i mentioned here.Eidsness could be trying to poach people for Northern Illinois now that they're Mountain West. Isaiah Jackson followed Isaiah Hung (3* decommit) and Tak Tateoka (STM transfer who is back in portal) at some point which I assume is him trying to get them for UCD.

Regarding Sorel, Dan Jackson isn't following him but Cooper is. Jackson still isn't following Woods but Eidsness is (this might be another old one from NIU recruiting?). So if this isn't some conspiracy, I assume they're just splitting up the work.

Castora says "It appears Ryan Olson, who spent this past season as the SDSU OC, could be Big Ten bound."

Would think that has to be something with Lujan at NW.

Jimmy Thompson (twitter) (Vanderbilt page) - Vanderbilt Stars (hybrid safety lb) coach.

Follow on the football team, JFPA, and the university athletic page. He followed Angel and I figured maybe he wanted to join the RB sweepstakes. He followed JI so either he really wants to hear about Dan's success or he's a new coach. edit: new follow on tanner

This guy might actually be getting paid too much at the moment. Seems he's on the fast track, too. You be the judge - vandy coaches page

2015-2018 Notre Dame LB
2019 Notre Dame intern (lb/safeties)
2020 LSU Quality Control Assistant
2021 Vandy grad assistant
2022 Vandy grad assistant
2023 Vandy analyst working with anchor position
2024 Vandy senior defensive analyst - stars (hybrid safety/lb) coach

I wonder if this would signal at least a slight change in the defensive philosphy, and if so, who might be the hybrid safety/LB. Seems like a role Francl would've been well-suited for.

Same fake looking X account that broke Dan Jackson is saying Eidness is OC. To be fair, the Jackson news came at the same stage as this where the twitter tea leaves made it look like a 65-70% probability of being true. Or maybe ballboy305 aka Robert Nelson is Sell's burner account.

Shane LaDage (Briar Cliff page) (twitter)

Briar Cliff HC just gave Cooper a follow. He is followed by Jackson, Benedetto, Eidsness. Would make sense to get a guy who knows Iowa and North Dakota.
SW Minnesota State 2011-2013
Saint Joseph College 2013-2014
University of Wyoming - 2014-2015 - worked with tight ends
Minot State University 2015-2019 - served as assistant coach, associated HC (2019), co-OC, special teams coach, interim HC. recruiting coordinator and wide receivers coach in 2019
Briar Cliff 2020-2025 - HC

Or Jimmy's from when he was at FAU
