DMN: SMU has offered June a 2 yr extension

[ponyboy]

Some of them are, yes. Are they better off for them?

Beasley committed to Bennett, by the way. Jones simply kept him in the class. He also inherited Sanders, Robinson, Thompson, and Morstead.

It doesn't matter where they come from. JJ turned them into NFL'ers. That's the point. He can take a guy who hasn't played a freaking down of football in his life and turn him into an NFL second rounder. He can take five foot eight, 160 pound white guys and turn them into starting NFL wide receivers. The list goes on and on.

How did race get involved in the conversation? Would it have been easier if he had been a 160 black guy?

And now RGT has spoken- We shall have mediocrity or nothing!!
Me? thanks, I'll take the nothing.

So that takes us through the 2016 football season if it's only a 2 year extension since he has another year under his current contract. Oh happy day. I'm sending RGT a Mother's Day card.

Well f@ck me sideways with a lunchbox, this f@cking ruined my morning.... Now off to a f@cking two hour conference call. Today is awesome....

So the difference between this situation and what I heard two or three years back is that June is not going to leave money on the table and head back after this season. And we (i.e. the CoC) are not going to pony up two mil plus another two mil for a new guy for 2014. One more year of June seems to me. I'm ok with that as long as there's a good plan to jump start us to that next level. But then again I don't have an irrational hatred of June Jones just because he doesn't wear socks or blue blazers.

The ill feelings do not come from socks or blue blazers but how he treated SMU during the entire ASU mess.

Would you have tried to leave a CUSA school with a bad cultural fit to go to a PAC12 school with a much better cultural fit? Does it help that you'd done your part to turn around a long-moribund program -- i.e. you'd in good faith done exactly what you'd been hired to do? And that ASU needed exactly those services? And it was not JJ's fault that that thing fell apart. It was Steinberg's

Seems to me we should have long ago forgiven and moved on.

He was leaving in good faith?? He was leaving for a better cultural fit? He was leaving cause the job was done. If all this us true then he should retire from SMU.

Look at it this way, if Jones is back you don't have to worry about football next year.

If he's gone, then we can get excited again.

Its really that simple.

When will Born in June hit the SMU bookstore? A big seller for sure.

I'd rather watch "Cannibal Holocaust"

In year eight of JJ's tenure at Hawaii, the team completed its transition from sucky also-ran and finally entered the Top 25, ending the season ranked number 24 in the coaches' poll. Though he did get key transfers (analogous to Garrett Gilbert coming to SMU), he did so on the back of numerous recruiting rankings in the 80-100 range on Rivals.

Or Dawn of the Dead.

So we're going to be a top 25 team in 2015?
