I'd be surprised if Jackson has a significant role in his career. (Famous last words!) My intuition is, if he were, he'd've gotten a try from Taylor already this year. 

Brown, on the other hand, is a definite possibility -- for the same reason that new GMs like to fire holdover coaches. At a certain point you want to ride or die with "your guy." Daniels isn't without skills, to be fair, but maybe not enough to dissuade a coach who wants to play with his guy. And they almost always want to -- play their guys, I mean.

Jackson reclassified a year to come early to Stanford. Given that he could have been a senior in high school, it makes sense to let him sit for a year.
Having said that, I think Brown is Taylor's guy. The guy who might challenge him is 2025 recruit Bear Bachmeier, Tiger's brother. That is if we can wrestle him away from Notre Dame, Alabama and all the other top teams that are recruiting him.
