Raymond Berry on June Jones
Posted: Wed Nov 19, 2008 11:47 amQ: Since you played at SMU, their hiring June Jones as coach in the last year was a pretty ambitious step. What's your feel for the way things are going with SMU now?
A: I think June Jones knows how to put a winning football team on the field, and I think Dallas, Texas, is a great place to recruit boys. I think if teams like TCU and Texas Tech can be at the top of the national rankings, I think SMU can also. I think they just need to have leadership and the right commitment to getting it done. Plus, they've also got to have a level playing field as far as the grades, and not have unrealistic grade-point requirements for football players. Whoever SMU's got to compete against, they need to be on the same level playing field with them.
