I doubt Brian Kelly woke Sunday morning and said, “man, I’m in a bad way. If only there was an 82 yr old DL coach legend just a few minutes from campus.”


Genuinely curious how Jenkins got the call less than 48 hours after that shite performance.

Someone from outside that coach’s room and staff brought this suggestion to Kelly. So who was it? Woodward, Orgeron,?

The surprising thing is he took the advice of whomever made the rec.

When the news first broke on here yesterday, the OP said that Woodward did it. If that's true and Woodward had to override Kelly-not good

Jenkins probably offered. He did it for O, and probably figured why not?

I mean, the man is 82 years old. You can’t really ask him to coach full time.

That’s what I’m thinking and it’s not good.

But Kelly is not about to do anything to jeopardize his $100m, so if boss man say hire ole Pete, BK say yes sir.

Perhaps…Woodward can tell him to hire O as recruiting coordinator/ dl coach

He can half arse walk. You can’t even ask him to coach at all.

Why would you assume it came from outside?

They didn’t bring Jancek in to be the permanent DL coach. Maybe he asked for help, maybe House suggested it, maybe BK did.

At this point, they have taken action to address the problem. Pete Jenkins was there locally in Baton Rouge and available to come in. His resume is undisputed and his wisdom of teaching defense is what they need in James Lindsay’s medical absence.

My guess is that Pete watched the same game we watched and made a call to volunteer to help.

I like to imagine it’s very similar to reaching out to the Wolf in pulp fiction.

He spent 11 years at LSU under Stoval, Arnsparger, and Archer (1980-1990). Then again under Saban (200-2001). And again under O (2016-2017). I think he has a connectio with LSU that transcends coaches.

Jenkins contacted the staff after the game and offered his services for free.
