Good luck with that, Muschamp throws him a life line for 1 year until Muschamp is fired

BOT approves Jackson hire, Muschamp releases statement

The South Carolina football program has a new Director of Strength and Conditioning. The university’s Board of Trustees approved a two-year contract for Paul Jackson on Tuesday afternoon. 

"Paul has worked for and with several people that I have a lot of respect for and he comes highly recommended," said head coach Will Muschamp in a released statement. "He did an outstanding job on his interview and I'm excited to have Paul become part of our staff."

The terms of Jackson’s contract are $450,000 in annual salary ($300,000 base and $150,000 in outside compensation), an agreement that runs from January 17, 2020 to December 31, 2021. His salary with the Gamecocks ties him for fifth most in the SEC for a strength coach in terms of 2019 salaries. 

Jackson just completed his eighth season at Ole Miss as the Head Football Strength and Conditioning Coach. Under Jackson’s direction in the weight room, the Rebels achieved four bowl appearances, including back-to-back New Year’s Six bowls in 2014 and 2015.

Jackson replaces Jeff Dillman in Columbia. Dillman was relieved of his duties by head coach Will Muschamp following the 2019 season. He spent four seasons as the head of the strength and conditioning program. The Gamecocks football roster has been marred by injuries the last two seasons, mainly on defense in 2018 and on offense in 2019.

Biographical notes on Jackson courtesy of OleMissSports.com:

Jackson came to Oxford after spending 2011 at Southern Miss, where he oversaw the strength and conditioning for the entire USM athletics department with direct responsibility over football. In his one season there, the football team had its best record in history at 12-2 and captured the Conference USA championship.

Jackson arrived in Hattiesburg after serving in 2010 as the Director of Athletic Conditioning for Football at Miami (Ohio). In his lone season, he helped the Redhawks to the 2010 MAC championship and a victory in the 2011 GoDaddy.Com Bowl, becoming the first team in NCAA history to go from double-digit losses to double-digit wins in one year (1-11 in 2009 to 10-4 in 2010).

From 2007-10, Jackson served as an assistant strength coach at LSU, working directly with the Tigers football and volleyball teams. During his time in Baton Rouge, Jackson won an SEC and national championship with the football team as well as three consecutive SEC Western Division and one SEC championship with the volleyball team. While working for the Tigers, Jackson worked under and was mentored by strength and conditioning legend Tommy Moffitt.

A native of White Plains, New York, Jackson got his start in the business as a Professional Intern Strength Coach with the NFL’s New York Giants. He also spent time as a Performance Enhancement Specialist at the Parisi Speed School in Garwood, New Jersey, where the focus is sport-specific speed and agility training as well as combine prep.

He is a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength & Conditioning Association.

During his college days at Montclair State (N.J.), Jackson lettered in football, spending time at both fullback and linebacker. He earned a B.S. in physical education in 2006 and later received an M.S. in kinesiology from LSU in 2009.

Who do you think was taking care of him, SC people, Ole Miss people, or a meeting of the minds for both groups?  At least he is gone from Ole Miss and hopefully will not reappear.

Well, I'm glad someone took care of him and he will not be at Ole Miss.  Now you said inside baseball stuff?
