JJ and our Players

Postby MiMiguys » Thu Jan 10, 2008 3:30 pm

When is JJ going to met the players we have now? In a way, they have been put in left field due to all that's gone on this past week. I thought sure he would of met with them before going to Hawai"i. I imagine his plate been full. It has been harder on the players going so long without a coach than the rest of us. So they are still waiting.

Are they all back from Christmas Break yet? I'm sure as soon as possible Coach Jones will meet with the team. I'm sure they are really excited to get started with him.
Back off Warchild seriously.

I imagine that will happen very quickly. My understanding is that recruiting dead period is ending soon and he's probably wanting to get his bags packed so he can start hitting the road on Monday. Also, he has to find out who he can count on for assitant coaches, and fill in the gaps where needed.

The kids are going to have questions around who are their coaches will be, I imagine that coming to his team with some answers will be alot better for everyone than saying "I dont know yet"

School starts next week. Some players are back, some return over the weekend. Coach Jones is in Hawaii and will be back in Dallas Monday. I expect he'll meet with the team pretty quickly thereafter.

Important to meet players but he got here what, Saturday, did the press conference and left Tuesday? not much time to meet everyone. unfortunately with living in HI, finishing business up there, having just played in a bowl game he probably needed a few days to chill...I think he ought to be back here already but probably not the best thing for us in the long run

JJ will have plenty of time to meet with teh players and let them know what to expect. He did the right thing by returning to Hawaii and closing up shop there...those are the players that he needs to meet with and thank for their work.
