Defensive coordinator Dale Jones has been part of the Appalachian community for a long time and returned to App State’s staff after spending 2019 with Louisville under former App State head coach Scott Satterfield.
Jones accepted Shawn Clark’s offer in January to return to Boone as the defensive coordinator for 2020.
“This is definitely home for me, I spent 23 years here and I have the opportunity to come back and finish my career here. I’m excited about it, I’m excited about the team, the kids, and how hard they’re working,” Jones said.
The Mountaineers’ family mindset and the App State community helped make Boone home for Jones.
