The former Middlesbrough boss' return to Molineux was rubberstamped on Wednesday.
Jackson told the club's website: “It's great culturally for the whole football club. It’s obviously difficult when people lose their jobs, because it generally means the team's struggling, and the team is certainly struggling so needs that boost. I think Rob and his staff have demonstrated previously that they can be really good in shifting the culture, getting confidence quickly into players and building foundations for a really positive future.
“Rob’s people skills are a standout element of it. He knows football and has worked hard in tough jobs, so it hasn't been an easy transition through the stages of his coaching career. He loves being on the grass and making a change to a team, embracing the tactics of different situations, and his recent success has definitely put him on the radar of many top clubs.”
Edwards is a former Wolves player and academy coach.
Jackson continued: “The best coaches absorb everything that they possibly can do in terms of player development, in terms of team formation and shape, tactics, opposition, set up and set pieces. The best ones continue to evolve, can change and find themselves going up the ladder, as Rob has pretty much done his whole career. That's testament to the effort that gets put in, the hours, the dedication and, very often, to the team around, because that support team around is so important as well.”
Edwards takes charge with Wolves propping up the Premier League table.
Jackson also stated: “Our group is really good in that they want to be coached; they want that discipline put into them. It's tough in the Premier League, it's tough to learn in the Premier League, and we've got lots of inexperienced players for the level, and that’s not necessarily shown in all of the performances, but it's shown in the results, and ultimately, it’s a results game, which is why we have the change of staff.
“We now need to get that belief into the players quickly. We definitely need to be held accountable, obviously, by the paying public, and they absolutely have that right, but hopefully they can channel their best energies into creating an atmosphere at the Molineux that really helps the players. Particularly in the first half at Chelsea, I'd imagine the players were drawing on that, because they gave their best of efforts.”
