"Pete" Jenkins, 31, assistant head football coach at Florence State University in Alabama, this summer joined the University of South Carolina staff to complete Cdach Paul Dietzel's list of assistants for 1973. A three-time Georgia All-State selection as a fullback and linebacker at Hawkinsville High School in Macon, Jenkins played on teams that won two state championships and had a 37 game winning streak. "I am delighted to get the opportunity to come here and work under a man of Coach Dietzel's caliber," Jenkins said. "I am totally impressed with the facilities here at South Carolina." Jenkins is the seventh new assistant to join the Gamecock staff since the end of the 1972 football season. Only veteran offensive line coach Pride Ratterree, starting his eighth year, and defensive secondary coach Jerry Stovall, beginning, his second remain from the staff of last fall. Besides Leachman and Clay on the defensive staff, other new coaches include offensive coordinator Bob Gatling, receiver coach Oval Jaynes, scout squad coach Oree Banks, and freshman 6oach Bob Mauro. Clay named earlier in the summer, and Jenkins replace Bill Rowe and Pat Watson on the Gamecock staff. Rowe resigned in April to become assistant athletic director at Florida State University,and Watson left to enter private business. Dietzel said he had interviewed a considerable number of prospective coaches during the past several months and none of them impressed me more with their football knowledge, the' praise of their superiors on previous jobs, or with the amount of success they have had than Pete Jenkins. "In seacrching for the final two members of our staff, I have thoroughly explored all ranks, high schcol, college and professional," Dietzel said. "Our two main requirements were, first, knowledge of the game of football and how much they could help our staff;sand, second, how good they were with high school relations (recruiting).
