If I recall correctly, Jenkins was only going to be here for this season.

“Those guys are great guys for us,” Orgeron said. “We’re going to evaluate the staff as we go along. I’m happy to have Pete Jenkins. I know he’s going to stay with me another year."
I always took this to mean Pete Jenkins would only be here for 1 year. Not past 2017. Although, he could have meant he would stay for at least another year.

BUT... following the full time hire (at which time A. Thomas was named GM too) Pete was asked to stay on.
So he WAS a stopgap. Then he wasn't.
Pete is a legend in CFB coaching ranks. Austin is a damn good recruiter, and this ain't his first gig if that's what you're thinking. We get the best of both worlds, in a way.
Yes, many recruits are focused on their position coach, not coordinator or HC. And no, Pete can't make those eval and recruiting visits. However, his name works in our favor here; all another coach (such as Aranda) needs to do is get him on the phone during a visit or secure a visit to campus, where Jenkins is at his best.
