The kind of coach that the players would run through a wall if he asked them to. The players loved him and he was excellent at developing and recruiting the best to play.

Everyone that is old enough, and I'm 65, loves loyal Tiger Pete Jenkins. God bless you Pete.

Had success at LSU with Armsparger but not against Nebraska in the Suger Bowl, I went to that one.


Nobody had success agains Nebraska's offensive line back then. However, in the 1983 Sugar Bowl, Dave Rimington was getting manhandled by Ramsey Dardar until the former started holding on every play.

In the Fall of 1977, Pete was the D-line coach at Southern Miss. My seat was a couple of rows behind the D-line bench. Saw him on more than one occasion not only get up in a players face...but grab player by the shoulder pads and lift them off the ground. He was a bad arse for sure.......
