Dale Jones At The Dome
Posted: Sun Dec 22, 2019 2:07 am
I don't know if it means anything but Dale Jones was at the game tonight...sat a couple of rows in front of me. Was wearing an App hat and paid darn close attention to the game...

He wants to come back and the married to it comment by Stonewall is a big reason for it. Dale also misses App I'm sure. I know of several instances where coaches who left us later told their friends they wished they had stayed.AppStateNews wrote: ↑Sun Dec 22, 2019 11:52 amI have on good word he was there to watch his former players play their last games...
I also have on good word he is interested in coming back.
I also have on good word these two are not correlated at all and he would have been there with or without any kind of interest.
It happens , thank you and thank you for your sacrifice.

As far as linebacker coaches go, it doesn't get much better. If Roof and Jones are both coaching linebackers, you'd have one of the best tandems in the G5, if not most of the country.AppDub wrote: ↑Tue Dec 31, 2019 5:15 pmAt the risk of getting skewered over this comment, my hope is that we don't just make this an App State reunion. I love loyalty and people with a strong love for App, but I certainly want the best of the best we can get for open positions, not just what we are comfortable with. Not a swipe at Jones as I know he was liked and good, just hoping Clark is looking nationally for great coaches. Let the bash begin.
Not gonna bash. You make a good point. I am super happy about Dale Jones coming back. He’s proven himself to be a national caliber lb coach, so best if both worlds...a guy that’s really good and really wants to be here. Not gonna lie, I’m not real happy yo hear that we’re losing Ted Roof. I’m going to be a bit apprehensive if Jones will be taking his place as OC. Last time he held that job, it wasn’t exactly a success. But several years have passed and maybe he’s better prepared for the job. In the end, all we can do is trust that Coach Clark will assemble a staff that will help him succeed.AppDub wrote: ↑Tue Dec 31, 2019 5:15 pmAt the risk of getting skewered over this comment, my hope is that we don't just make this an App State reunion.

I agree with this point but I don’t take Jones coming back to suggest otherwise, as long as it’s not as DC. I would like to see a couple more “App guys” on staff, especially with DJ leaving. But I also hope to see an influx of new viewpoints too.AppDub wrote: ↑Tue Dec 31, 2019 5:15 pmAt the risk of getting skewered over this comment, my hope is that we don't just make this an App State reunion.

We definitely need a mix of guys with App ties and outsiders. Culture needs to stay strong and infuse some new ideas and creativity from outside places.EastHallApp wrote: ↑Tue Dec 31, 2019 6:21 pmI agree with this point but I don’t take Jones coming back to suggest otherwise, as long as it’s not as DC.
