I, too, am concerned.

However, there are some things that give me optimism:

1. He seems like an intelligent guy
2. People praise his work ethic (anti-Pelini)
3. He has coached defense under a few great defensive minds (Aranda, Zimmer, etc.)
4. Players love him

and most importantly

5. He is surrounded by a lot of good and very experienced coaches on that side of the ball

His number 2 (Blake Baker) and LB coach was a DC at Miami for two seasons. I am cautiously optimistic and hoping we have a lot of coaches with chips on their shoulders. If we can shut down UCLA, I will be really optimistic.

I like the fact that he has coached db’s because our coaching has been shite on that side of the ball. While Raymond can recruit, his coaching has been suspect at best. With Bo, you would have thought he would have command of what they were doing last year, but it was just the opposite. He didn’t have those LBs protecting the dbs with their speed ie controlling the TEs and RBs. He coached with Bo at Nebraska so Bo likely trusted him to know how to teach his defense. They did improve over the season, but still.
Jones will need to be heavily involved.
