Has he ended up anywhere? If not, how about getting him as DC?

Now that would be an interesting idea! Although, isn't he supposedly going to take over Bo Pelini's old spot with Miles?

Also, we might have to get a couple more people into the Circle of Champions to get him:

Jon Tenuta is the former Associate Head Coach and Defensive Coordinator of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets college football team. In the wake of the November 26, 2007 firing of Georgia Tech head coach Chan Gailey, Tenuta was named Interim Head Coach, but was not retained by incoming head coach Paul Johnson. He also coached the Yellow Jackets' defensive backs[2] and was one of the highest paid coordinators in college football

How much could he have been making at GT? I mean, he was still a coordinator.

Ok...June Jones is his own OC. That allows us to put any money we would normally put toward an OC to a DC.

Tenuta doesn't recruit.

I've read not to expect him at LSU. Apparently, he is hard to work with and is polarizing and Miles doesn't want that...
