He checks many of the boxes:
- young(er) end of the coaching spectrum, relative speaking
- coached at a defensively stout college: Wisky
- coached against modern/spread offenses: all
- NFL experience
- some local connections for recruiting
- connected to LSU/Orgeron via Aranda

HOWEVER, he doesn't check the biggest box IMHO: RESULTS

Forget about can he call plays defensively... he hasn't been very successful in a limited role position coach.

My feeling on this is Jones is in the conversation because he does check those boxes and was likely recommended (at least for consideration) by Aranda. And likely it will end with consideration/interview. So no need to panic.

And if for some reason they do hire Jones, he can't fall short. I really can't see Orgeron (or Woodward) going that far out over their skis.

It’s on paper the worst hire yet of the O era. Which is an incredible statement. But true

He’s close friends with Mickey and Vance Joseph.

Now this is the point I’m not sure why many are missing. Many are freaking out over this interview. An interview does not = a hire. Just reference Arnett.

Concur. He’s been with several teams for one year each recently. No promotions to DC, always a DB coach. Too much job hopping with mediocre results. Is the cupboard this bare?
