They were good at South Dakota State. They were good at WSU. They took a school with a completely decimated roster. Rebuilt it and made a bowl game first year. Sounds like Jimmy Rogers is a football version of TJ. Smart and young. The type of young coach that is an up and comer. Rogers is only 38 years old. IMO he will recruit and retain most of our roster. Long term we will be fine.
He has very little track record as a head coach.
He did have some close loses this year, but he wasn't exactly beating anyone with a pulse at Washington. That doesn't mean he can't do it, but let's not act like this was someone that any other school in our conference would want to hire.
Found it interesting that Pauley was retweeting Iowa State athletics stuff even yesterday. I wonder if Rogers would offer him like a CO-OC job to keep someone from the last staff on board. Obviously they would have crossed paths as MVC football coaches
I don't think he'd have taken the job if it came with too many strings.
Rocco's biggest weaknesses were being injured by that cheap shot at Cincinnati and guys dropping passes. And with no kicker, we lost a lot of flexibility on offense. The offense was also put in a hole a lot of times because the defense wasn't very good - see Cincinnati.
I think if the Jolly Roger is able to keep Noah Pauley, that would be a big get. He would help keep some of the offensive players & I would be keen to see how he approaches calling an offense.
Agreed. I think the appeal would be there would be a better chance to keep some players. Like maybe Brahmer or Burkle. But most likely Campbell would take the players he wanted no matter what.
I'd argue that PSU is a giant ball of string
Ask Texas A&M about Jimbo Fischer and get back to me on the importance of hiring a coach wanted at other schools
The roster and staff hugging here is wild to me. Not to mention that that's now how the world works in 2025.
If we end up poaching a couple Northwestern coaches, I wonder if we can get Griffin Wilde. Was Northwesterns top WR and #7 WR in FCS while at SDSU. Followed SDSU staff to Northwestern when Rogers moved west.
I'd think an Eskildsen, Sowell, Wilde trio as WR's could be pretty nice.

The is an example for every circumstance.
. This guy very well may work out, but it seems like the only thing that got him the job is that he met Jamie.It's comparable to TJ except that TJ actually did know Jamie for years.
I read an article about how he was frustrated with the NIL at WSU. I bet he'll be thrilled with Jamie running the NIL show here.
True. I guess my point is let’s give Rogers a chance at this point. He could be a great hire, or he could turn out to be terrible. Nobody knows yet. But as fans all we can do is try to support the programThe is an example for every circumstance.

It doesn't seem logical that CMC would take a job where he didn't have control of the program
