Thank god for something interesting. Even if it turns out to be false

If it is Jones I like the hiring. He has done more at CMU than Kelly did and I think he can keep our momentum rolling. Think he coach's us in the Sugar if he is our coach?

Ever since Kevin Sumlin dropped out Butch Jones has made the most sense to me.

He's the safe pick. He combines the "keep the system going" positives that Quinn brought to the table with the prior head coaching experience that Quinn lacked.

I imagine he was the #1 target from Day 1.

Everyone seems to be reporting it including espns schad. I'm excited but feel for CMU

[seville]

So if it is Jones does this mean he coaches the Sugar Bowl w/ his staff or does Quinn continue to stay on board until after the bowl games over?

Ahh I thought this Was A Ralph post. I bet quinn is still around for the sugar. He said the only way he isn't on the sideline is if he is with the good lord...

The right thing to do is let Jones coach CMU's bowl game, and let Quinn coach the Sugar Bowl.

Just IMO.

well, all in all a good hire. i wanted Sumlin, but jones will be good.

Jones needs to get here and talk to the recruits on the fence now. The sentiment on CMU boards is they don't want him to coach the bowl game anyway, just want to move on. Did see some wanting to talk to Quinn for HC. Maybe a big merry go round of coaches.
