re: Melting about Jones but not Peetz or Nielson?

Of course. All while forgetting the fact that a large portion of the board was very excited with the potential of landing Freeman as DC.

Nielsen was a guy that had major college experience and has for four years been the position coach of one of the better units in the entire NFL. One that many fans of LSU focus on because that NFL team happens to be in the same state. He also had a long history with Orgeron. There was hesitation, but he was not an out of nowhere name in terms of this search.

Peetz is a guy the fanbase sees as a potential recreation of the Brady model that was the biggest key to the success of 2019.

Jones may be great. But this is a completely out of nowhere hire. He wasn't a name that was talked about at all, by anyone. He's not a guy with ties to O or LSU or anyone even on the radar. The only somewhat tie is that he coached with Aranda at Wisconsin for a year. The same Aranda O seemed to be fine with leaving because he didn't love Aranda's style of defense.

If people are "melting" it is because LSU is coming off their worst season in 20 years and worst defensive season...maybe ever and the hire to fix that issue is a guy no one had ever heard of until a few days ago and one that seemed to have zero buzz among both the NFL and college football.
