Jones seems to have recruits' attention whereas Johnson made a lot of people nervous.

They are both "system" guys and great offensive coaches, but let's be thankful that Jones was the guy instead of Johnson.

The Pony Express goes "air mail"



The funny thing was that I was going to slight disagree with you, because I became enamored of Johnson. I was going to say "a better hire".... BUT - the more I thought about it, I think it probably is "a much better hire".

Regardless of who the better coach is, and we could debate that....

- Jones runs a style of offense that players want to play in.
- Jones runs that offense better than anyone.
- Jones runs an offense that puts fans in the stands.
- Jones runs an offense that puts points on the board.
- More points even more fans.
- Jones just took his team from an island in the middle of the Pacific to a BCS bowl.
- Jones just molded his journeyman QB into a Heisman finalist.
- Jones just lead his team to the undefeated regular season in the Bowl Subdivision.


Yes, I can agree with you. Much better hire.
