Great article on providing insight into Coach Jones and the Cheetah Mentality
"Cheetah, man, that's his obsession," Fields said. "Once he started calling our group that, I went and got me a cat. I couldn't get a cheetah, but I could get a cat. It reminds you to always attack your prey. Cheetah come in a gang basically, that's the DB group. I like that terminology."

Excellent read. Coach Jones just seems like the coolest dude to be honest.
This is what you want out of every college football coach on your team
Akshually Cheetas are solitary predators.
"He's a football coach, not a zoologist."
- Dr. McCoy on Coach Cheetah
But when they hunt in packs they are unstoppable. Look up Tano Bora!
Akshually they're not, but ok
Just putting this here because...it seemed like the right place for it. (courtesy of Google, emphasis mine)
triple coverage
Throuple?
Either this is the Calvin Johnson of antelope or our DBs are a bit undersized haha
The "coalition"! and, that antelope is screwed.
I'm 1000% committed to changing our DBs' collective nickname to "The Coalition".
Coach cheetah been usin it already!
Look up "The Lions of Sabi Sands". It's an absolutely wild watch and definitely relevant to the conversation. I feel like I watched all the episodes on YouTube but I don't know if they're up anymore.
Basically a brotherhood of 6 male lions wreaked some havoc and took over a lot of territory and a documentary was made about them the whole time.
As the largest known male cheetah coalition in the Mara, the Tano Bora (which means 'The Magnificent Five' in Maa) has challenged many assumptions about typical cheetah behaviour. Typically, once reaching adulthood, male cheetah will become solitary or perhaps join another to form a pair. It is very rare to see a group this large bonding together.
This formidable quintet, which have claimed the Mara as their stomping ground since 2016, have become known for their incredible take-downs of huge prey, making them a firm favourite for some of the most striking entries in The Greatest Maasai Mara Photographer of the Year through the years. There are few scenes as remarkable as all of the Fast Five in full-speed pursuit, or mid-kill committing their full bodyweight to bring an adult wildebeest down to the ground.
I decided to research this a little further. Apparently female Cheetahs are solitary but brothers from the same litter are inclined to form a coalition. So a coalition of Cheetahs is a band of brothers. There's a cool analogy there perhaps?

Thank you for reading my book report.
....is your name Paul by any chance?
It's pronounced Kevin.
Oh really??
I'm 100% willing to trade in the often-contested title of "DBU" for the much cooler "Cheetah Gang"
From up above I'm 100% down for our DBs to be called The Cheetah Coalition
You do have to be careful because I'm 99% sure Bobby Bowden traded marked Cheata U in the 90s
just call our group of DB's "The Coalition"....
I wonder if someone could photoshop our db's heads on these?
It is down to four now. Supposedly the group turned on their leader and killed him in the last week.
Were they at Auburn?
This is why I am TKP member. Saw 25 new posts, figured I'd see some new recruiting goss or fun stories about Coach Jones.... Nope, instead I just read a Zoobook about cheetahs, and am also very excited about the hire.
Kudos, respect and legs to the lot of ya

Happiness for the change, guarded optimism for the future, and lurking melancholy after the past ten years.
