DMN: SMU has offered June a 2 yr extension

[Pony81]

Report says he is being extended 2 years with the last year having no buyout.

Disappointing but not surprising. It is hard for SMU with its funding to fire JJ with a year remaining and eat $2 million

April fools day is not in December

Not too worried. He will "probably sign it" he says. Clearly setting the stage for June's "retirement" after the UCF game as arranged over a year ago. Everyone saves face.

eff you see kay

Why even publicize this? It's transparent to everyone- recruits, parents, competing coaches, etc. that he's out sooner rather than later. Our recruiting will only get worse

What do you mean? If he's back next year, it's a disaster

June - do the right thing. Do not sign it. Go coach Hawaii or focus on your movie. Kevin Costner would play a better SMU coach than you.

[CalallenStang]

I believe a quiet period starts next Monday. This is hopefully just a way to keep wavering players on board until the quiet period, since we won't have a new coach by then.

We should offer $500K to his charity in exchange for his departure. Make him choose. He's made $10M here, how much more does he need to retire comfortably on the islands?

I am saying he retires after the UCF game. There is no way there is a real offer. All signs point to him leaving after this year in a way that saves face. If you add it all up - the buy out, recruiting this year, Mumme, first year in AAC, no offer before, June saying he will "probably" sign it. It just screams gone. I could be wrong, SMU had not always acted logically, and this is my own reading of the situation not any special inside info.

I sure hope you're right.

[Stallion]

Can't tell if they sourced any one of the SMU side from this article. June statements seem a little vague to draw the conclusion made. Did he get a raise? Are there conditions?

[03Mustang]

I think Couch 'em is right.

At least he better be.

“We’ve talked about it,” Jones said when asked about his contract status. “They wanted to extend me, but I just don’t like dealing with that during the season.


This part makes me optimistic he's out. If you want to stay and you have an offer in hand, why not sign it?

[NavyCrimson]

W/ recruiting as it is I don't see how Jones can sign it in good conscience??? Don't see how the offer could even be extended either. But then again when it's other people's money - why not??? But then again- ask the US govt! LOL! What a sad joke.
