Pete Jenkins and recruiting

If I recall correctly, Jenkins was only going to be here for this season. Some feel that Austin Thomas is a stop gap and recruiting in his place. Does anyone else feel that this situation that Orgeron put himself in can be used to negatively recruit against LSU? We need defensive linemen in the worst way and I can’t help but feel other schools are going to be telling recruits that Jenkins is leaving and since they won’t know who their coach is, make it harder for us to close. Thoughts?

I mean sure, anything can be spun negatively, so I'm sure some will try.
But to have a guy like Jenkins coaching you (and he is still here) is a massive positive over a negative.
With that said, having a DL coach recruiting and having Jenkins as off field support, would be good too. I guess I don't see the bad sides when you have been though Brick for how many years - no recruiting, no coaching.
LSU is much better in DL recruiting and coaching department now.

Not being able to have your specific position coach recruit you is a massive negative. There is really no way to spin that. Right now if you are a big D Line target, you are getting phone calls, visits to your games and high schools from different DLine coaches from across the country. These are Coaches you expect to coach you for the next 4 years. These coaches have been building relationships with these recruits for past 2-3 years. Well all but one major school (LSU). LSU landed some targets but also missed on some big Dline targets that year that specifically sited the lack of communication with Jenkins or just having a better relationship with another schools DLine coach. The best combination is to have a DLine coach who is a good coach and a good recruiter. How LSU could have a position coach that cannot physically recruit in such a position of need is one of Coach O's biggest mistakes right now.

I couldn't believe a few of the guys on tRant the other day, basically going in dry on Jenkins. Everything from calling him a dinosaur to being too old and senile to coach.
He's a living legend and absolutely elite at what he does, even at 75ish in age. He wrote the book on good Dline play. We are fortunate to have him, and if I were a DL recruit I would automatically have LSU in my top 5 for Jenkins alone.
