Jackson named head coach at Grambling St.

Former Cleveland Browns and Oakland Raiders head coach Hue Jackson is taking over as the coach of Grambling’s storied football program.

Jackson, who spent this season as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Tennessee State, fills the vacancy created when Grambling fired eighth-year coach Broderick Fobbs last month.

Jackson spent 18 years in the NFL as a head coach or assistant with Washington, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Baltimore, the Raiders and Cleveland. Before that he spent about a decade on staffs at three Pac-12 programs (Arizona State, California and Southern California).

Oregon hiring Georgia’s Lanning: Oregon has hired Georgia defensive coordinator Dan Lanning as its next head coach, a person involved in the negotiations told the Associated Press on Saturday.

Lanning will replace Mario Cristobal, who was hired away by Miami.

Diaz hired as defensive coordinator at Penn State: Manny Diaz, who lasted 18 days as Temple’s head coach before he left to take the same job at Miami in 2018, has been hired as Penn State’s new defensive coordinator and linebackers coach, head coach James Franklin announced.

Diaz’s new job comes just five days after his firing as the Hurricanes’ coach was disclosed. He compiled a 21-15 record in his three seasons at Miami and led the team to three bowl games.

Texas Football magazine founder passes: Dave Campbell, founder of the Texas Football preview magazine that became a fixture in the football-crazy state, has died. He was 96.

Campbell died Friday night at his home in Waco, said Greg Tepper, managing editor of Dave Campbell’s Texas Football.

Known as “the bible of Texas football,” the magazine was started by Campbell in 1960, seven years after he became sports editor of the Waco TribuneHerald.

Campbell served both roles for 25 years before selling the magazine. The press box at Baylor’s McLane Stadium is named after him.

While the magazine started as a comprehensive guide to former Southwest Conference and high school teams, it came to be known as the primary source of preps coverage.

Campbell is in the Texas Sports Hall of Fame, which he helped rescue after the original location in the Dallas area closed in 1986.

Born in Waco in 1925, Campbell never lived elsewhere, except for three years in the Army during World War II, when he earned a Bronze Star.
