Wish List for Action Jackson's Staff

[jbjack]

Away from computer but it's Zimmer official on bergie and eids.
Some random unafilliated guy with like 400 follows who I guess likes that division football
broke bergie news and then it was reposted from there. Another guy claimed he drove Winona State into the dirt and bailed

I can't believe there's anyone that cares about Winona football.

Appears Bergstrom has resigned at Winona and will be DC.

Is it safe to assume that everytime that we have to go through this process that salaries are going to go up ? Especially when we are not promoting from within.

I would hope so.

This D2 Forum said Eck was at $94k (around '21 so data is either from that year or before) and Bergstrom made $84.8 in 2021. We fast forward a few years and here's the MVFC pay list for HC/Coordinators this past year. Stig was $306 in '21 and '22. Rogers was 310 in '24 from Zimmer.

Doesn't take much to continue to make the salaries a little bit more competitive with some of the other top coordinator salaries (Rohel was 123k before he went off, UNI OC was at 123k. USD DC at around 120k).

I assume overloading server with people trying to stay updated. Bet we have a few WSU/NU people checking in on us.

I think I'm surprised with him keeping the same position while at UCD (granted he only had it for a year). Isn't Special Teams Coordinator our newest coaching position? Where does it rank in the coaching hierarchy? Jackson has at least one young son according to his UCD page. He was at $100k in '23 before his most recent promotion, so I assume he's at least around $108k+ now. If we were around $115k for our OC and DC, I can't imagine he'll be getting more than $90k here.

I think Stig underestimated the "known" coaches in his Happy Hour interview.

I'm curious if we're witnessing former coaches rallying to new regime to ensure continued program excellence

He also coached LBs at Davis, and I suspect he could help with recruitment in that region.

I should say that I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't think Jacks would have shot for position other than DC

Glad to see I. Jackson back too. A bit surprised

Anyone else getting "server too busy" messages on forum?

Media members (Gaskins, Herder, Eisen) tweeting bit about Eids so I imagine that'll be public soon?

JI now has Isaiah Jackson listed as the Special Teams coach. One of the latest follows in on the WI guy we just offered yesterday.

[Jackrabbit2012]

JI listed Brian Bergstrom and Isiah Jackson as Defensive Coordinator and Special Teams Coordinator respectively.

[jakejc795]

Zim with the story he mentioned during Happy Hour regarding Jackson being perfect hire, which includes positive commentary on hire from former Jacks Cade Johnson, Jordan Brown, and Josh Manchigiah.

[jakejc795]

Cooper and Daniel Mojica, SDSU's Assistant Director of Operations are now following one another which might indicate Mojica is staying in town. Looks like Mojica has been retweeting some player re-ups along the way.

Jonathan Shaeffer had been with the program for a long time. I imagine his presence and contributions will be missed. He also seemed to be the one doing the most amount of following of all the suspected WSU coaches/staff early on. Maybe he'll be Director of Recruiting.

JI has updated their page to indicate Mojica is remaining Asst. Dir. of Football Ops.

I understood that he said Flyger was interested but didn't know if the interest was mutual.

I should've stated that differently. You are correct re. Flyger. The Vandy assistant seemed more likely.

I revised my post

[bigticket1]

Just got to that point, but Zim also mentioned that Olson was offered OL gig at WSU, but he was offered P5 job he didn't want Zim to reveal. Apparently Benedetto made similar request, so that's why Zim didn't officially name him TE coach yet.

He also mentioned Flyger, Augie alum and UND coach, and an unspecified Vandy assistant likely joining staff
