Baylor head coach Matt Rhule is bringing in a familiar face to the Bears coaching staff. Rhule hired former Tennessee Titans coach Frisman Jackson to be the Bears new wide Receiver coach next season.

Jackson was a member of Rhule's coaching staff at Temple as a wide receivers coach and passing game coordinator from 2015-16, when the Owls went to back-to-back bowl games and won the AAC championship.

"We are blessed to get Fris fresh off a successful playoff run at Tennessee," Rhule said. "After having worked with him before, I know there is no one better suited to take our receivers group to the next level. His experience as both a college and pro player and coach gives him a unique perspective on developing our young men as elite football players, great students and quality men. His ability to teach and develop receivers is second to none. We are excited to welcome Fris, Lindsey, Anya and Forrest to the Baylor family."

Jackson was the receivers coach for the Titans last season that made it to the divisional round of the playoffs. The Titans had two receivers, Eric Decker and Rishard Matthews, record 50 plus catches last season.

As a player, Jackson was a part of the Cleveland Browns from 2002-05. Jackson caught 40 receptions for 490 yards and a touchdown in his career.

"I'm very excited to be back with Coach Rhule," Jackson said. "I had a great time working with him at Temple. He's a smart coach, he's a fair coach and he's a true family guy. I know he is going to do things the right way. Getting back with coaches I have worked with before makes the transition easy and smooth. Those two years at Temple were some of my best years as a coach. We had a great run and I'm looking forward to doing the same things at Baylor."

Jackson spent two seasons coaching wide receivers at NC State before his time at Temple. He also made coaching stops at Northern Illinois (2012), Akron (2010-11) and Western Illinois (2008-09).
