Again, they say his coaching smarts matches his academic smarts. Jason holds a bachelors degree in biochemistry. The 37 year old appears to have had success communicating with and getting the most out of football players he's coached. That alone is telling of his intelligence, because when you see Tarver your first impression is college intern. He looks young folks! But he does have a slight resemblance to former Raiders coach Jon Gruden.
The only red flag I see is he's never been "Thee" defensive coordinator, only a "Co" (joint) or Assistant of some type or other. But in the famous words of Afred E. Neuman, "What - Me Worry?"
Welcome to the Silver & Black Defense Coord. Jason Tarver
