Could Daronte be DB coach if better opportunity doesn't arise?

Brian Kelly is holding onto him for a reason, he was interviewed for the DB position a few years ago at Notre Dame.

Seeing as we already have 2 DB coaches getting paid 500k a year I highly doubt it.

I think we have our db coaches When was daronte hired. Could be as simple as contract date could drop buyout if multi year contract. Or he could be gone already and just hasn’t posted it on social media which is where we normally find out.

He also isn’t listed as a coach on the lsu sports app. Which means he is gone.

I thought we still owed him one million ?
If so keep him around in some capacity.

He signed a 2 yr contract. He has 1 yr left. LSU has to pay the full 1 yr. So why not just demote him to an analyst for the 1 yr.

Yes. We can do the same with Peetz.

These guys aren't bad coaches they were just not experienced enough for the positions for which they were hired. Peetz was a QB and RB coach and Daronte was a secondary coach.

I’m sure contract has a clause that doesn’t allow him to be just demoted to an analyst.

Well you don’t have to give him that title, but use him in that capacity.

He is still under contract. No announcement has been made because no one else in football has hired him. He is just hanging out collecting a check, not unlike what he did most of his career.

Then he would count as an on-field coach and we don't have room for him.

well lets see. He was a DC at a D-2 school 13 years ago. Then nothing but a DB coach since at about 5-6 different places and never sniffed a DC job anywhere until O desperately hired him. If he was this genius the ppl on this board think he is why hasn't he moved up the ladder before Orgeron?

What is this board’s infatuation with Daronte Jones? I need to understand, because I haven’t seen anything except not calling any blitzes until EIGHT games into the fricking year when everything was already lost.

You daronte fans need to understand that he’s not the 2nd coming of Aranda.

He was thrust into a spot that he wasn’t ready for but showed signs of growth. He’ll be fine but we’ve opened a new book. Time to move on. The future is very bright.
