June Jones is SMU Football

June Jones and SMU have come to an agreement to make him the new head coach for SMU football as being reported on the Dallas Morning News website. Something this program desperately needed, a good ol' kick in the run-n-shoot. The agreement will give June Jones a five-year deal paying him just about $2 million a year. This will make June Jones the highest paid coach in Conference USA. Hawaii tried all they could, even having the governor calling him, but to no avail.

June Jones completely turned around the Hawaii football programming and definitely has another rebuilding job on his hands with the Mustangs latest season ending in a 1-11 record. This is not Jones's first stint in Texas. He was with both the USFL with the Houston Gamblers and the NFL Houston Oilers. Welcome back to Texas June Jones.
