re: I don't know if I can justify kicking Daronte Jones to the curb

If he is that good he'll find a job, easily! CBK needs to build his own program in his image.

I can if we can get Marcus Freeman.

His defenses were very good once Lane Kiffin called Ed O and said "WTF, man!"

Given the attrition he had to work with in his 1st season as a DC, when you look at what he was able to do with this defense, he single-handedly kept us in games we shouldn't have been in.
To me, the initial debacle of playing against the team's strengths was every bit as big of a disaster as the defense turning it around was a success.
Keep in mind that in the last 7 games, his defense gave up 42, 42, 31, 20, 16, 14, and 24.
So, it was really a 4 game stretch (with ULM) that you are hanging your hat on.
Sorry, I just don't support it.

I can if you're looking at DCs like Freeman.
Miles better DC and he can actually recruit, unlike Daronte.

Good thing it’s not your call

The guy got the job and did great. He’s on a lot of people’s radar. If he goes we may look back with regret and also pride

Jones basically concocted the blueprint to slowing Bama's offense, and every team they've faced since then have used it to decent success. You'll see UGA use it this weekend in the championship game as well.
He then used that same blueprint to nearly shut down a prolific Arkansas offense and then got the win against A&M and Calzada.
Jones is a lot of the reason the Tigers have seemed to turn a corner in the second half of the season, that defense was just nasty at times and it was playing with one hand tied behind its back because of quitters and injuries.
His defense with a full compliment of stud athletes, and a full season, would be a nightmare for opposing offenses. Not saying that he should 100% be kept on as the DC, but it wouldn't be a bad thing like some are making it out to be.
He had to learn on the job (thanks Orgeron) in the toughest division in CFB, and it took him a bit but he's turned into a pretty great DC in his own right.
