[that's great raplh]

This makes sense. It also makes steve o's decision to hire him look even better.

Better Question, would he go back to Hawaii under the right set of $$$ for everything.

[George S. Patton]

The coaching industry is a very transient industry. I appreciate what Jones has done for the program but raise your hand is you really believe he is going to see the end of that contract.

He said "unless the right situation" pops up. With talent like his, the "right situation" will always be out there. I think he'll take another job elsewhere someday.

youre still mad he got the extension. i raise my hand as someone who thinks he will coach through the end of the contract.

You gotta believe that he might (like Paul Johnson) want to prove that his offense works at all levels. But that said, perhaps taking the Mustangs from trash heap to perennial CUSA champs might be good enough, and he's still a couple of years away from that. He's also getting to the age where energy is going to start to wane in a couple of years (notwithstanding Joe Pa).

"This will most likely be my last job unless some right situation came
up that would appeal to me"

Hate to see June make a statement like that. Why send a mixed message like that, especially right after you sign an extension? What message does that send to potential recruits? It may be just what popped up in his mind or it could be a warning shot fired towards Orsini. Either way don't be talking about "right situations" somewhere else!

How dare you question June Jones' choice of words!

I doubt it. They made a last ditch effort to keep him in which (if I remember correctly) the Hawaii governor got involved and assured him that the money would be there for any part of the program that he needed more money, but June said "too late" and signed on at SMU.

I should say...I did it just to prove you wrong again, but I guess it does anyway!

CalAllen there are no exceptions.....

Dont Mess With Smooo! goes for June or anybody else!

[ponyscott]

This will be his last coaching job as it takes alot of energy to do what he is doing here and really don't think he has the mental and physical makeup to do this all over again. He will retire in the Islands for certain, and maybe just maybe, he ends up at Hawaii as the AD for his last job.
