Remember JJ's Signing Day PC Comments?
Posted: Wed Aug 20, 2008 10:40 amI did not go back and watch the press conference, but I do remember thinking that Jones comments about BLM were more than just the usual coach-speak praise. I wouldn't go so far as saying it was his job to lose, but looking back at the PC comments is interesting:
On Bo Levi Mitchell: "I have watched thousands of high school quarterback DVDs over the last ten years and Bo I think is the most accurate passer that I had looked at on film. We are really excited that Bo is coming here to be a part of what we do. I think he has a chance to come in and compete right away and we're counting on him to do that. Competition makes everybody better, and I think Bo Levi Mitchell will do that for our quarterbacks."
On Braden Smith: "He has been very, very productive. He, too, had a sensational high school career. His touchdown-to-interception ratio says a lot about his accuracy and the type of quarterback he is. He will get his chance to play, and as I told all the quarterbacks, whoever the best player is, is going to play.
BTW - I hope whoever plays sets all sorts of records and returns SMU to Bowl games and national respect. And among our recent coaches, if anyone other than Jones made comments like that I would take it far less seriously.
