I want to take some time to introduce our new coaching staff in this thread. In depth and in detail so we can all get a feel about what we are in for this coming year as well as our future on the grid iron. This is a very diverse and experienced staff.

Here is the staff as they show on the Arizona site and who we will be discussing in this thread. As we Intro each coach I would ask anyone with a solid input to add their thoughts.

First and foremost in my mind when Jedd was first announced as the new HC was? You got it, he never played the game?  This is what the Arizona site has on him.

First off, notice the names of WHO he has worked with and the level of trust those coaches put in him.
Second, notice the accomplishments of the teams he has been a part of as a coach in various positions as part of the staff.

His staff?

He has much of the approach of of a Lou Holtz. "Surround yourself with the best talent you can get, and let them do their jobs".
He has embraced Arizona's history placing former Arizona players all through his staff including those with strong Arizona roots.

Endorsed?  Oh yea!

Some of the biggest names in the sport have endorsed him without question!

Reaching out to others? Yes and well spoken at it too!

He is reaching out to every school in the state of Arizona and local businesses and everywhere he can to entrench himself at Arizona and embrace the community around him.

Some things about him in getting here.

Maybe we should call him Pontiac as a nickname because he has excitement in his veins when it comes to offense.

His shortest stop 


Family atmosphere     



Very productive coach and will be exciting to see what he can do even with the current roster and this staff does not believe this is a total rebuild. Remember that RR had this team ready to compete when he was fired and CKS changed everything actually setting the program back and really hurt many of the players at that time. The talent is similar and could take a big step forward immediately if the players can respond to the new staff right away.
