He was a solid DC at USF with equavalent talent. Was hoping USF would have retained him during the transition. Need to bring some life and ingenuity into the defense.
"As defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at USF, Jean-Mary's units were consistently among the nation's best in turnovers created, tackles for loss and pass defense. In his first year, USF was top 25 nationally in six categories, including sacks per game (3.0, 11th) and interceptions (20, second). The Bulls led The American Conference in total defense (359.8) and scoring defense (21.5 points per game), improving from 120th in total defense and 92nd in scoring defense to 37th and 41st, respectively, after Jean-Mary's arrival. Defensive tackle Deadrin Senat was one of five all-conference defenders before being drafted in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft.
USF forced 69 turnovers across Jean-Mary's three seasons (24, 21, 24) and ranked top 30 in the FBS in that area twice. The Bulls also ranked top five in tackles for loss per game twice (8.4 and 8.3 per game in 2017, '19), while ranking No. 4 in red zone defense in 2019 (67.4 percent)."
