USC defensive analyst Skyler Jones is being promoted to defensive tackles coach.
What’s funny is the people who wanted Ed Orgeron or the former Texas Tech defensive line coach will celebrate this like it was a shrewd move.
What this tells me is Gary Patterson didn’t really have anyone he wanted to coach the tackles. Patterson is known for being a defensive backs guy and he got two guys to coach the secondary.
USC has two defensive line coaches as Shaun Nua coaches the defensive ends.

You are an elite interior defensive lineman. Can go anywhere. Coach Henny impresses you and ultimately you decide on USC. And then you are informed after the transfer portal closes that Henny is leaving. You hear rumors of Fitch and Coach O and now you are introduced to a nobody analyst and told there will be no interior defensive coach after being promised the guy who coached Aaron Donald. This sucks! Kids want to be developed by someone with a track record. I can’t believe that Bowden and Cohen agreed to this. I do believe that Riley was fine with continuing the tradition of mediocre to awful defensive football.

Somebody explain why this was a better decision than Coach O who was begging for the job.

I think this is a really bad choice. Especially when you have DL coaches out there that are better. What are you thinking Riley.
