Kjar Staff Rumors

I’m with you. I totally understand others having concerns with experience, but I’m liking the pieces coming together on the staff, and I’m liking the local recruiting emphasis while still maintaining some ties to California and Texas. The transfer portal will be interesting.

With 24 hitting the portal and some solid players in that mix, I would think that we will be bringing in a good sized group of transfers. Some of those transfers will be enrolling this semester and will participate in spring drills.
 
Aaaaand Skyler Ridley is gone, hired as USU's receivers coach. Seems strange he would take that position after being names the associate head coach by Kjar. Some good news, it looks like WSU is going to get Tana Vea after all. Not official, but a great hire away from San Diego State.

Tate Kjar is transferring from USU as a wide receiver. He redshirted in 2024. 3* prospect out of high school, Utah 6A player of the year.

The younger brother to Noa and Tate is a highly regarded tight end at Corner Canyon. At 6'5'', with a 38'' vertical, he is also an excellent basketball player. It would be great if he were to sign on to play for his dad as well.
 
You would think a HC with zero college coaching experience would want some more experienced assistants but this staff is turning out to be very green, especially with Ridley leaving.

I'm adjusting my opinion on next season from Warily Optimistic to Cautiously Optimistic. For the most part, I like the player additions that Kjar has added. YES, Weber is losing some talented players, but in this new age of college sports that is going to happen regardless of how good a program is. Nevertheless, all the playing corners are gone. That isn't great. Pate was going to leave. He should. He's been here for 4 seasons. But all the rest...not good. Though, money talks. As for coaches, good for Ridley. Hope it goes well for him in Logan. I don't blame him at all for taking the position. It does leave Kjar in a weird position. Though, I feel he needs a little more DI experience around him. Waiting to hear who the remaining members of his staff are going to be.

Most of the assistants Kjar has brought in have D1 experience, some a bit more than others. It's not as if he has hired them right out of Jr High coaching. Most have had recruiting experience, and most have come from winning organizations. As a group, they are young and eager to prove themselves. With Skyler leaving it also leaves another opportunity for the assistant head coaching position. There are only one or two more positions to fill. I'm sure there will be a lot of learning going on the first year, but the energy and enthusiasm are there, and I like the vibe.
 
Tanner Jacobson has been promoted to the Assistant Head Coach position. He will still be the special teams coordinator and line backers coach. I had a feeling that it would go that way due to Tanner's HC experience at the JC level and his other D1 coaching experience. Now I hope he brings some of his good players from Tyler with him.
