That personal connection with the players is key. He's has demonstrated his ability to go above and beyond it make sure these kids stay plugged in to the program. Opt outs and portals make this a desirable quality more than ever before.

Big thanks for that! Now, read Glen Guilbeau. I can't believe I gave him a "click". What Les Miles, Nick Saban or any other coach at LSU did doesn't apply to this hire. He may flop but I sense otherwise. Guilbleaux is a reason I subscribe online to The Times JUST for local obituaries. Who KNEW Will Muschamp or even Nick Saban when he came to LSU? Guilbeau is a jealous, negative waste of printing paper and ink. LINK /

Here are some Highlights from the article:
quote:
In his scheme, the safeties, are pretty much designed to make all of the plays. That’s how it was when he was coaching us. We’d roll down into the box in run support.
quote:
It was really a multiple defense, we called a 3-4, we ran a 4-3. We’d roll a linebacker up and make it look like a 5-2. We were also running a 46 Bear, but we also had a lot of consecutive 3-3-5.
quote:
Yeah, Coach Jones isn’t your typical coach. He’s the one that wants you to call him if something else is going on outside of football.
quote:
how competitive is Coach Jones?
I remember one time at practice, he said he didn’t want to give up no touchdowns. I don’t know what pissed him off, but we ended up giving up a touchdown or two at practice, and it was the second touchdown we gave up, and he said ‘Y’all meet me at the hill after practice.’ Maaaan! We just gave up two touchdowns at practice. But that was the standard he held us to. He wanted us to be the best. He came in my freshman year, and we weren’t the best. We gave up over a thousand yards rushing in our first three games, by the fifth game of the season at half time he talked to the defense and said if you guys don’t get together, I’m just going to throw the young guys in for the rest of the season, and he did. I think from that point on, we went from the CIAA worst defense to the best defense in the Nation in DII football.

This is exactly why i said lets give the guy a chance, every successful coach or person for that matter had to make a start and a name for themselves over time. Jones sounds like just what this team needs, someone who can teach, motivate, and relate to the players.
