Cincinnati to Hire jones

apparently the University of Cincinnati is on the verge of announcing the hiring of ~~Jesus~~ Butch Jones to replace brian Kelly as the UC Bearcat head football coach. Can they catch lightening in a bottle twice in a row...especially from Central Michigan?

There is an overriding misconception that Clutch is an overriding misconception.

I think they should have picked Kerry Combs

Butch Jones will use UC as a stepping stone just like Kelly

Nobody listens to Andrew

Combs is too much rah rah and not enough blood and guts

Jones interviewed at Marshall, too.

It looks like the Herd is getting another former WVU assistant, Doc Holliday.

I don’t mind the stepping stone stuff if you can’t annually be a title contender. When bigger schools come for your coaches, at least it means you’re winning. Sure beats firing them.

i guess Xavier Basketball has been sucessful as a stepping stone program

I don't think the system is the same in basketball as it is in football

But I agree with your overall sentiment. For Xavier basketball, it’s not the coach that makes the program, it’s the program that makes the coaches. With the support and funding that’s come with Kelly building a winning program, it’ll take a decent coach to keep that going but Jones should be able to do it and the program should be fine.

The ball is round, and the game is 90 minutes. These are facts.

Everything else is just theory.
