wow, sounds like he was a helluva player at UNLV and played professionally. Pretty cool. The players he is coaching in his unit should be able to glean a lot from him.

I'm not seeing why this guy was brought on.? Other than the link through UNLV. obviously coach phen sees something not apparent at first sight. Maybe it's the recruiting ability.Honestly though, hasn't phen done to Staggs what was done to Phen last season? Hired a guy after all the recruiting was over?I'll figure out my true feelings when we all see 4-5 games next season.

Hey that is close to our surrender average of 39 PPG and 481 YPG over the last three years. My question is what did we do to improve our defense during this past recruiting season for the 2018 season besides making a defensive coaching change as coaches just coach? How many defensive starters come back for the 2018 season? Obviously, our last three seasons on defense has been below average. Is our offense capable of scoring 40 points plus per game? Our last three years say no at a 24 Point Average Per Game on offense. I realize that Stats do not always count but the scoreboard at the end of the game is what counts. It is called a W or a L.

I hope coach Phen can teach his friends how to coach. These resumes are not going to sell many tickets or inspire donors. GO BENGALS

If anything he does bring in some coaching experience and did play at a high level. He must love football.

First, who cares what his defense did at Adam's State, he is the safeties coach not the DC. Second, all coaches hire people they know, people they are comfortable with and trust to coach the way they want. Let the coach hire who he wants without passing judgement, if you want to do the hiring then get in the coaching field. Otherwise wait until a failure before questioning what is happening.

Our defense ranks at the bottom almost every year and has so for a very long time. I do not blame the actual coaching during games as players play but it is obvious our recruiting of players on defense is not so good. Maybe, coach Jay Staggs knows out to recruit players to make our defense better.

Do not worry Spartan what the fans say. Jay Staggs will improve the safety position as he played that position at a high level.
