Penn State Loses Another Assistant Coach

I'll be curious to see how short a leash Dean Jackson is going to be on at Penn State, or if he's going to be allowed to actually coach. The only other assistant is the new summer hire from RIT, Lisa Marshall, who played for Jackson at Elmira and graduated two years ago.

Why would they bring a guy in but not let him coach?

I hope Jackson is given every opportunity to coach, because I think he can do some good things for Penn State. I'm curious, though, because of how many assistant coaches have left Penn State after very short turns behind the bench.

Though if true I'm discouraged that a coach of an elite team at D3 has to be an assistant coach of a team he could probably soundly beat with his Elmira players to move up. I always thought guys like him and Kevin Houle could go straight to HC of all but the powerhouses of D1 if they wanted.

Houle and Jackson's resume's are not the same (experience, winning, recruiting, etc). While I think the elite D3 coaches can make the jump... There's NO QUESTION that Houle could do it if he wanted - though, doubt he will. That said, both great coaches.
