What else do you need?’” contracts and facilities at Houston, where he served as offensive coordinator under Jack Pardee before becoming head coach last January. “For me to leave to Houston means I’m making a statement, like a marriage to Mississippi State,” Jenkins said. “I’m looking at a lifetime deal.” Jenkins is trying to upgrade coaching Although Jenkins said he listened to the Mississippi State offer, he said he hopes to remain at Houston. Houston athletic director Rudy Davalos declined comment. However, on Wednesday, Davalos said he would not get into a bidding war with Mississippi State over Jenkins. “John’s got a place here,” Davalas said. If he wants to leave, that’s his prerogative.” The Bulldogs finished last season 5-6 with a 1-6 record in the Southeastern Con ference. Mississippi State officials gave no indica tion that Jenkins is their choice to replace Rockey Felker, who resigned Nov. 26. Felker earned a base salary of $71,610 while Jenkins, who has a new contract of fer, earned $ 100,000. “We’ve got basically the same contract he had,” Davalos said. “We’re just giving him a 4-year rollover. It’s a standard con tract. Jack Pardee had it, and Bill Yeoman had it, and our next coach, if John t to leave, will probably have it.” Templeton refused to comment i the situation but confirmed he hast with Jenkins.
