I'm wondering if people have just stopped answering Coach O phone calls. The latest. https://247sports.com/college/lsu/A...ones-159819502/Amp/?__twitter_impression=true
Ok thats fair. On the surface I'm skeptical. Especially since his background looks to be in defensive backs. We already have that guy. At this point we need someone. Its on O's head win lose or draw and you and taint and his gang of haters can all play soggy biscuit if it goes wrong. Bottom line is the position needs to be filled. If its a black guy that is a plus in regards to the cancel culture crowd, who cares if he can coach.

Read this and I hope O hires him. He's one tough focused dude. Sounds like he will be a great recruiter with a great story to tell about percervierence and hard work. Lets face it half the job of being a successful coach is being able to recruit. Get him a good DL coach and LB coach so he can concentrate on being the DC. Love the fact that he coached at Jenerette and Franklin high school and Nicholls State. This guy has seen it all. Don't care if he hasn't been a DC in the NFL. You never know how good someone is until you give them the chance. Who knew Burrow was who he was until O gave him a chance? We all know how that turned out. This guy will be able to relate to the black kids and their mom's and dad's especially kids raised in a single parent home. If there is one thing O knows it's recruiting so he must see this guy would be a great recruiter and has potential as a DC. This part of the read is what impresses me about this guy The practice field back then, Davis said, was "a little bit of grass, a little bit of dirt, a little bit of rocks, glass, broken syringes" that had to be cleaned each day. When his class schedule meant he'd arrive late, there was no assistant to handle the first part of practice for him. On those days, Davis left things to Daronte Jones, the safety who'd been raised by his mother and grandmother in Prince George's County, Maryland, outside Washington, D.C. Jones had such a thorough command of the scheme, such deep respect from his teammates, he could run practice himself. "He'd say, 'Hey, Coach, I got it,' " Davis recalled. "He'd run the first three or four periods for you before you arrived." The assured, assiduous educator who arrived in Minnesota to coach the Vikings' defensive backs this year was formed in tough places, on practice fields lined with the detritus of a crime-ridden city and small-school locker room floors that provided a place to sleep after late-night film study sessions. They are the places from which a path to the NFL can seem inaccessible without a supreme level of focus and commitment, but Jones had the reserves for the road.
