Did we Hotbox him on his recruiting visit with Haering, Saun and Palcic or something?

His mother likes the coaches at UTSA. JJ and Mason need to pick up the phone and recruit her. Believe that is legal during the upcoming dead period.

Terrible team, terrible conference, terrible degree, coaching staff filled with amateurs (sans Coker). What's to like exactly?

Absolutely not, June's not long for SMU anyway.

lol, the question was rhetorical. If the mobs of ASU fans protesting his hire didn't humble him, nothing will.

Humble June?

Here is how it goes down. Simple and easy. jones picks em up after this year. Will announce he is leaving several games before end of season. Buyout money is gone. He knows recruiting stunk this year. He sees Reed, J'G, Zach and others heading on. Can't win CUSA, or if he gets really lucky and does this year, all the better. He goes out a legend (in his own mind anyway).

Realistically, he knows he can't get us near BE championship, realizes he has one poor recruiting class now on campus, can't figure out how to get the recruiting part of the puzzle solved long-term, has no desire to work as hard as would be needed, dreams of golf 365, tired of everyone not appreciating his june-ness, knows he pulled the wool over everyone's eyes last year, can't figure out why his qb's can operate r&s offense, and his CoC buddies have now opened their eyes. Time to move on back to his people in the islands.

The biggest problem, one of several, is timing. With a blown recruiting class and only one more year of CUSA competition, now would have been the best time to take the softest hit and go ahead and get the next guy in here. Gives new guy a year of lesser competition, chance to get rolling on next year's recruiting, a feel from seniors like Reed, J'G, Zach, et al about our mindset, time to put together his staff even if he has to wait until after next fb season to get a key man or two, etc. I think we could better withstand a change now vs in a year or so. Considerably so.

Although we've been surprised before, I think he'll end up going with us.

I would have agreed with you during the fiasco, but then I thought... Who would be a viable candidate to repalce him? Im sure if he doesnt make a big turnaround (decent 3star, with a sprinkle of 4 and 8-4 record or better) they will kick him off. Its better to have an excuse like that going into the BE than sucking. Next coach we need has to be a recruiter (or unless has a loyal recruiter) than a strategy based coach.

Jarvis is now a Mustang. Don't forget, he didn't get his test score until last week, and then was hit with four offers in one afternoon, including Colorado. This is an excellent pickup in the Stephon Sanders mold.
