Grading Texas A&M football's coaching hires - Jordan Peterson, DBs/Co-DC
In another homecoming for the defnesive coaching staff, former Aggie DB Jordan Peterson joined up with Mike Elko after holding the same position with the Kansas Jayhawks. He and Aristide have split up the DB coaching duties, while he also has taken on the mantle of co-DC.
As I mentioned with Aristide, there have been a few busts on the back end of this defense through the first part of this season. There are a couple of members of this defense who have been chiefly responsible for those busts, but I'm encouraged that this staff has not been afraid to try out a few other names in those spots.
Peterson and Aristide's combined influence has been a big reason for the improvement of this Aggie defense. They'll be tested in a big way once LSU comes to town, but I think they're more than up to the challenge.
