"June Jones, Kapolei (Hawaii) High OC: Jones is a high-risk, high-reward pick. He had successful runs at Hawaii (76-41) and SMU (36-43), where he rebuilt both programs. HeΓÇÖs also been a two-time NFL head coach. Both of his college gigs ended on sour notes. He also agreed to become Arizona StateΓÇÖs coach in 2011 before the offer was inexplicably pulled. ThereΓÇÖs some baggage there, but Jones would win."

'rebuilt the program'. lol that's a laugh. left our program in the worst shape possible.

How did his Hawaii gig "end on a sour note"?

Sure Hawaii lost the Sugar Bowl game, but they went into the bowl game
ranked #10 in country after going undefeated in the regular season.

Plus June was able to parlay the successful final season at Hawaii into a big pay raise at SMU.

C-ya @ Milos!

To be fair, he did rebuild the program; they just conveniently left off the part where he nuked it back to square one on his way out the door.

didn't they make this Movie already where the old Codger goes to the Retirement Home and proclaims "We're getting the Gang back together". Oh maybe that was the Blues Brothers

When momentum starts rolling downhill in recruiting-WATCH OUT.
