White versus Jones

From a big picture stand point
why would Kelly pick White over Jones...? More SEC experience?
no troll, not agenda other than diving into this important hire?

Because he’s a better coach?
Idk that may be a wild conspiracy theory of mine.

Do a deep dive into it and you will see why.

Perhaps because he has more experience as a defensive coordinator?
Posted on 12/14/21 at 9:29 am to ApexTiger
White has had pretty good defenses with pretty meh talent for a few years now
Jones was good for 4 games 1 of them against ULM
He’s just so far from a sure thing.

Racist thread title.

On has more than 1 season under his belt.

A lot more experience and less risk? White is a better candidate. It’s really not close.

He has 3 times as much experience and about 10 times the amount of successful experience
Jones was good for 4 games. That's not enough to be lsu DC...which is one of the most prestigious asst jobs in college football

Kelly is a smart, highly experienced, highly successful head coach who knows a good assistant coach when he sees one. If he decides that White is the right person for the job, then chances are he has good reasons.

Younger, more successful, career has been on a steady incline and has improved himself at ever stop. Doesn't have any stagnation in his career path. Where he stayed in the same or similar position at multiple stops over a 10 plus year period. I don't understand why this board is so fascinated with Jones. Yes the defense played well for a 3 game stretch. A stretch that never would happened if Lane Kiffin had not told our staff they were very predictable. Why does this not trouble you people?
But go ahead make your case for Jones?

These Daronte fans are out of control

I think Jones has earned a spot at a school as DC. But LSU should never be a proving ground.
The guy is halfway into his first chess match. He surprised Bama and we were able to keep it up for a few weeks. Lets see how he responds when teams have time to start planning for what he put out.
Could be become a really good DC? I think so. Could he also get figured out and be burned by game 3 of this season? Definitely.
If BK decides to keep him, I'd be ok, but disappointed we couldn't land someone with more history. But we should be able to land someone more proven, and who has battled back and forth with teams for a few years.

Lot of down votes...
You guys must have taken my questioning wrong?
Jones has NFL experience...and showed a lot improvement...
White has 3 years experience...
I'm just asking...
I love Coach Kelly and fully trust his decision making.
My question is just message board filler...
If white is our guy...then okay...just asking how a HC evaluates a DC hire...
Its not a knock on anyone its just a legit question...
Posted on 12/14/21 at 10:39 am to ApexTiger
Lol at questioning the guy whose last 3 DCs he's hired were very successful DCs and are now P5 HCs
Posted on 12/14/21 at 10:44 am to ApexTiger
Maybe because he's a great LB coach and his defenses performed high end for low end talent in the SEC?
Posted on 12/14/21 at 11:06 am to ApexTiger
More experience and clean slate.
Posted on 12/14/21 at 11:32 am to ApexTiger
Don't get the Jones love.
Very average at best.

The problem is fans tend to like familiarity. Today, Jones is still one of us so we like him and see his potential. But think of the hire this way... if any other SEC coach was making this hire, who would they choose? The answer would likely be White in almost every case. I can't think of a single category that Jones would beat White in (experience, potential, etc).
We (myself included) see the best in our coaches until they completely screw up. We like Jones b/c of those last few games. If you remove those purple-colored glasses, you'll see that Jones had a few good games, but is not a proven DC. BK wasn't hired to keep O's staff around. In fact, the more purging he does, the better imo. It's hard for BK to come in and change the culture of the program if he's doing it with the same staff that went 6-6 this year. We love Corey Raymond and Kevin Faulk b/c they are Tigers. But are they really the best coaches for the job? Only BK knows b/c it's his vision that he has to implement. We have to trust the same for the DC hire
