Why wouldn't you hire a coach the players want to play for? He is gonna be an important part of the committee because he will talk to the rest of the players about the finalist for the job. This is about them, not about some coach who is supposedly the savior. . .he left them high and dry for SMU.

You need an unbiased rep from the student pop. that understands football. They will trust that they will do what IS best for the Warriors. There has been so much sadness in Jones annoucement, but look up, perhaps it's a blessing in disguise. We will have the bestest season even. (Only one savior, what an insult to God) GO WARRORS!!!! GO you guys, bring it on!
