Jones was actively looking for a new job, right?

Post by 2ndandlong »

Theres more to it than the money. I've passed on jobs with a higher base because I knew other opportunities had more long term earning potential.

Some of the things I ranted about are the soft factors that contribute to this. Attendance. Marketing. National attention.

I agree the money's good.

Surely, it wasn't three 7-5 regular seasons, yet he was leaving.

My understanding it was to get us into a AQ Conference. Done deal.


Good! Buh-BYE, then.

Not many jobs with more long term earnings potential than smu, ask some of the boys in Houston if jj was taken care of?
