Portland State fires defensive coordinator
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Portland State coach Nigel Burton has dismissed defensive coordinator Eric Jackson effective immediately.
The Vikings opened with a victory over lower-division Carroll College but fell 45-37 at North Dakota last weekend.
Jackson joined Burton's staff when he was named head coach in 2010. Before coming to the Vikings, he was secondary-special teams coordinator at Princeton for nine years.
Burton says he will begin the search for a replacement immediately.
Portland State travels to Washington to face the Huskies on Saturday.
There has to be more to this story. Of course it would be asking too much to expect KATU to cover the basics of Who, What, When, Where and WHY?
