The Bombers moved to Knoxville, Tenn., and are under new ownership for this season. Boise's first-year owner, Phil Subhan, hired Jenkins to end two years of losing games and money. The franchise went through three coaches, two arenas and at least three lawsuits in its first two seasons, posting an 11-21 record. Still, Subhan and Jenkins, who also is the assistant general manager, hope to make indoor football as successful in Boise as minor-league baseball and hockey. This is a great opportunity for me.
Good things are about to happen here.
The city is gonna reap the benefits of another winning sports franchise. Jenkins' resume is thin. He spent three years as an assistant coach at a pair of NCAA Division III schools in the Northeast and played two years of pro football in Europe. He ended up studying sports management, helping a high school football team as a volunteer coach and earning some extra money with an Austrian entry in the European Federation of American Football. He's been coaching since, but working his way toward a job in the front office.
