he had infinitely better players and still sucked most of the season.

House was better last year.

House isn’t the guy, but also Jones isn’t the guy

No….finding his groove? Lane Kiffin had to tell O after he destroyed the defense they were predictable and easy to figure out. Only thing they changed was they started blitzing like crazy because the season was lost and they had nothing to lose. Yeah they played Alabama close because they showed something they hadn’t done all year and Bama was unmotivated playing a losing team. Durante Jones was trash

They were clearly trending upward as a defense. How much of that was purely attributable to Daronte is unknown, but hey somebody had them dudes playing hard and sound in a pretty much lost season (while in a lame duck role).


AAAAHHHHH here's a bulitin for ya; Jones had different "dudes" back then especially in the secondary.

Deronte Jones had a lot more legitimate talent.

Not answerable. If we beat Bama and UGA yes. We would probably be at 1 loss with a decent offense.

This

Daronte wasn’t a good DC, him being “turned loose” down the stretch is retarded. He was a bad hire, House was a bad hire.
