Daronte Jones' coaching style is different from Bo Pelini. He'll have the locker room, and he'll lead with charisma. Kudos to coach O for thoughtfully picking a DC. I'm excited about next season.

Being better than one of the worst is not saying much. I hope he does well but I’m not excited about the hire. What’s done is done and I’ll reserve judgment until he gets his chance next season.

We're all waiting anxiously on that.

Pelini wasn't a bad coach, he just was not the right fit for one reason or another. Jones is the complete opposite direction. He'll put our athletes where they need to be and he'll bring the energy.

What scheme does he run? Does he have the ability to call plays?. No one knows shite until we are a few games in.

Well he meets the diversity requirement that Bo Pelini did not meet last year so hopefully our players will play hard for him.

Is it?

Pelini lost the locker room because of a variety of reasons; personality, coaching style, communication, etc. Like it or not, leadership and empathy are important to a team. I'm not saying Jones is the best hire of all time. I'm saying he's a great hire, particularly because he's not like Pelini-who obviously was a bad hire.

What scheme does Jake Peetz run? Does he have the ability to call plays? No one knows shite until we are a few games in, but people sure loved that hire.

Scheming competence, coordination of all of the units in synchrony and mental prep of players can't be had via locker room charisma.
