For you older LSU fans like myself, what do you remember about Pete Jenkins?

The Advocate reported that Pete Jenkins was on staff for Arnsparger, Stovall, Archer, and Saban. And Orgeron wanted him as his Dline coach.

What I remember about Pete Jenkins was sort of a mixed bag, he definitely could coach the Dline. Had success at LSU with Armsparger but not against Nebraska in the Suger Bowl, I went to that one.

Jenkins had success with LSU and Coach Stovall, they beat The Bear at Alabama with Alan Risher as our quarterback. But could never defeat Miss State when they had their elusive quarterback John Bond, he never loss to LSU. Jenkins along with some older LSU fans probably still have nightmares about tackling that guy. It wasn’t like LSU didn’t have Dline talent to stop him, they had Leonard Marshal who went on to play for the Giants.

He was good enough for Arnsparger and Saban. That’s good enough for me.

I think the money to pay Pete should come out of our D Coord salary.

So if LSU lost while he was coaching that’s a loss on him as the DLine coach?

We never beat Miss State when John Bond was their quarterback. He owned Pete Jenkins and LSU. Bond and Miss State also beat The Bear and Alabama one year.

I remember back in the arnsparger archer years it was reported that he could bench more than any player on the team.

Is this where we come in with revisionist history and act like we knew who the position coaches were from the older teams?

Knowing the names of position coaches is much more of a new thing. In the past you may get a short article on page 3 of the sports page in the newspaper that said “LSU Hires DL coach.” Knowing their names is much more part of the internet age.

Hell a DL coach for Stovall probably only made $12,000 (Stovall made $42k).

I always thought LSU should have gave Stovall another year, but they never should have hired Archer as head coach. He looked like he barely knew how to shave.LOL

Coach Jenkins doesn’t do push ups. He pushes the Earth down.

Thought all D-lines were good under him. But I remember Saban throwing a fit and yelling at him after I guess something Saban didn't like. It may be the reason he wasn't coaching the next year.
