Think the point is he hasn't proven he can coach a defense against modern NCAA offenses. It's nearly impossible to have a lockdown defense now with the rules and modern offenses in NCAA.

You have to wonder why this guy never got much opportunity later down the line until now. Aranda didn't even ask him to come along anywhere with him yet he recommends him to O? Is Aranda trying to take the LSU job?

I hope he's great and we're all wrong but it's hard not to recognize lots of red flags with this guy.

Where would he ask him to go? They were together at Wisconsin and Jones went to the NFL the same year Aranda came to LSU.

He had been in college for a long time and finally got his big break in the NFL. I doubt he was looking for a college position coaching spot at the time.

And Baylor DC Ron Roberts is Aranda’s mentor,

So where, exactly, are all these opportunities that Aranda had to hire him?

One difference is that he’s been dedicated to defense as offenses have shifted. That’s very different than becoming a head coach and running an entire program over the last 4-7 years.

That’s no guarantee of success because we don’t know how he will call a defense to slow down a spread offense. However, Jones has at least been doing film work and drills to break down these offenses with his position group and work on their matchups.
