Brian Jenkins

you are correct he was hired away, right off the coat tails of fenroy's 4 1,000 yard seasons.

i stand by my opinion. the guy did not have football knowledge. he was helped by those around him.

If records were the sole determining factor on being a good head coach, there would be much less controversy on this board

I'm not a mind reader, and don't know who you are, but I would guess you did not enjoy playing for Coach Jenkins!!! LOL!!

Somebody didn't get any playing time and is ____ed. Isn't that how coaches get hired based on the success of their players, head coaches are judged by wins and losses and assistants on their recruiting ability and success of position players. Read any coaches bio and they mention prominent players they have coached.

I'll go on record and say besides his playing time at UL, DMS has had a very personal relationship with this athletic program, even before his playing days... While I agree it's hard to discount his overall record, I'll take DMS's word for it...

I know a guy like that and he lives in Baton Rouge. His name is Les Miles

He apparently knows some things that Bethune didn't and Alabama State doesn't.

From what I saw Jenkins was a hard azz on his players. He and coach Mason yelled non stop. Mason was just funny when yelling but Jenkins was brutal on guys during practice

[pathfinder]

Okay, cool it's good to know that having a personal relationship or connection to something makes you an expert. I will go with the fact the Jenkins was a hell of a recruiter while at UL, good position coach, got hired away by a Top 25 program at the time, has a successful record as a head coach, and just got another head coaching job. But take DMS's word for it....lol. So where are the rest of the guys he worked with on Bustle's staff, please let me know.

This is more commonly known as being "Old School".

exactly right, and he did his yelling to hide his lack of knowledge. if i yell loud enough they'll listen.

no, i like old school, and some times thats what it takes to get a player to get it through their head.

i think your son can attest to that. i do believe jenkins thought he was old school, but some of the decisions made in meeting rooms made no sense at all, and we had to go back and change them because they made no sense and put us in a very bad position on the field.

I have no commection to him (Jenkins) so I could careless how he was viewed here, but Blake Anderson is HC at Arkansas State. Much better gig.
