G5 COACHING MINUTE: JUNE JONES , SMU MUSTANGS


COACHING MINUTE

OBC(original G5 blog content)

BIO: Age: 61, College Player: Oregon, Hawaii and Portland State. NFL: Atlanta Falcons
CURRENT TEAM: SMU Mustangs: 2008-Present
SMU COACHING RECORD: 36-41: Salary 2,000,000
WHY HE IS IMPRESSIVE: Turned around and guided an  SMU team that had little to celebrate since the famous "death penalty verdict". Has lead SMU to four Bowl Games during his tenure.
POTENTIAL: June Jones has been coaching for a long time and has seen it all during his career. Jones is credited with turning around an SMU team that had struggled for decades for relevance. When focused and motivated Jones is simply one of the best in the business. Recent rumblings among the SMU faithful however, might mean that Jones is struggling to connect with the SMU fan base. Regardless of these rumblings, Jones is likely the man main for the SMU program for years to come as he signed a 3yr extension in Dec, 2013.
RATING: 3 stars.    (RATING IS ON A 1-5 SCALE)
