Thought we could have a running thread for assistants. Not sure if each assistant needs its own thread.

  • Assistant Offensive Line Coach: Jens Danielsen

I'll update as more names drop

247 reporting Jens Danielsen hired as assistant OL coach:

West Virginia offensive analyst Jens Danielsen is set to join Matt Moore in Blacksburg, 247Sports has learned.

Danielsen spent the 2023 and 2024 season as an offensive analyst with the Mountaineers after spending the 2021 and 2022 season as a graduate assistant. During his time with West Virginia, Danielsen spent time working with Moore, assisting in various aspects of the offensive line development.

According to his West Virginia bio from 2024, Danielsen was the "run game specialist and centers coach."

Sandwiched in between his time at West Virginia, Danielsen was briefly an offensive quality control coach at Mississippi State. He also spent time at Baylor as a graduate assistant working with the offensive line.

Before building experience at the Power Four level, Danielsen was the Co-Offensive Coordinator, Offensive Line Coach, Recruiting Coordinator, and Strength and Conditioning Coordinator at Navarro College. During his time at the junior college ranks, Navarro's offense ranked Top 5 nationally in total offense.

These are key hires I like to see. A lot of times certain coaches aren't as good when they don't bring key guys with them.

Good example is Robert Anae was not the same at NC State without his QB coach Jason Beck who had been at BYU UVA and Syracuse previously.

Did Jason Beck help Robert Anae call that lateral to the tackle against us? If so, kudos to him

He was a GA with the Baylor OL when they were QB'd by Charlie Brewer, the younger brother of former VT QB Michael.

He would dominate in water polo, but his Passion is football.

A decade on TKP and it's been time well spent.

Do you need cleats when you walk on water?

This is going to be great for the ACC.

think of the savings we can have when we pay him $50k as an assistant coach and we can just get rid of the rest!
