Jason Jones is leaving.
- Thread starter Gamaliel.
- Start date
This isn't as bad as it may seem as out Safeties have been underperforming since 2020. It gives coach Allen a chance to make another very good hire like he did with coach Bostad.
CTA and WIlt will bring in a good coach. Safety play was bad last year but part of that was no pass rush.
I'm with you... No great loss from my vantage point... It seemed as though he'd completely stopped coaching them the past two years...
I’m floating this idea: Let Shelby coach all DB’s (almost like a promotion for him) hire a new LB coach who would also coach the Bull, let coach T give that part up and focus just on being STC. Let Wilt be full time DC with accountability on him. And Allen just be a HC. There I said it! 😎
My only real issue issue would be having the Bull coached by just the linebackers coach since he really is hybrid between a linebacker and a safety. I guess you could alternate them periods between the 2 position coaches.
Always liked the idea that the back 4 get coached as a unit - especially if you are blitzing them much - which I want want WANT.
Wish Coach Jones the best. Seemed like an upstanding man and a good example for the young men he lead.
Admittedly, I'm just a fan with that level of football acumen. However, it did seem that shortly after Coach Jones' arrival there was a downturn in the performance of the secondary--not sure whether it was the safeties, the cornerbacks, or both. To be fair, in research they say, "correlation is not causation."
Looks like there is an opportunity for an upgrade.
Coaches have always been in the portal!
North Carolina's defense was trash last year. So good luck to them both.
