PING!
As a Boise State fan, this really hurts me....NOT!
Jones took over a program that was 0-11, and made them 9-4 the next year and has made Hawaii a TON of coin and now they are stiffing him.
He single handily brought 10s of millions of $ to the school making 800k. He deserves to be paid.
Come back to Detroit. I want the run and shoot back.
During the broadcast, the announcers talked about how crummy his office was, and how he didn’t have a recruiting budget that would get him to the mainland.
Let’s face it, Hawaii was playing out of its league at the Sugar Bowl, and if folks in Hawaii started giving him a hard time about the loss, I can see a reasonable reaction being that they weren’t paying him enough to take that grief.
He should end up with a better gig (but probably not better weather) at a second tier program on the mainland.
