Agreed. The difference is the evaluation of coaching talent with the age-old "can he take yours and beat his" question. In my estimation Jones is light years away from being a Xs & Os or strategic coach. If this opinion is correct, it will take overwhelmingly good talent to overcome this disadvantage. If Jones can consistently recruit to that level, and Alleva and the fan base can live with that, then JJ's the right guy. I don't think he can consistently recruit to that level.

Time will tell.

Coach BM Jones and his coaching philosophies eeriely reminds me of another coach that I just can't quite put my finger on.Maybe it will come to me.

I actually think he came along at the right time for recruiting here and made the wise move of getting Patrick at the most opportune time, much like his mentor used to hire the big-time recruits high school coach.

Jordon Mickey's brother played football at LSU helped and that was a fortunate circumstance in our favor and Martin along with the kid that went to Vandy were the best two recruits in B.R. in 5 years or more.

And in the coming years U-High has 2-3 solid D-1 prospects and Johnny's son plays their along with Wayne Sims' son. For me that sets up quite nicely for future recruiting.

Of course some of the guys we brought in that some expected maybe a bit more from like Odo, Elbert and Malon...everyone has those, but it would be nice if they were not all at the same position. Hopefully Elbert can improve his movement and contribute in the future per his relatively high ranking.

All that means is IMHO talent won't be the issue in the coming few years. CJJ maybe is still learning to be a head coach at this level, at least I hope he's learning and improving.

For me it's still discipline and accountability that are the areas he needs to make the most strides in. But pulling for him and my Tigers.
