This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Maybe I was alone in the thought that Jones was an awful by jt

choice and a terrible fit.

A guy like Weis will not want to dramatically change his scheme. He might be able to occasionally incorporate different things, but a dramatic change? No way. It would be like June Jones or Mouse Davis running the veer.

Plus, the OL had been recruited and had played (well, those who had any experience in practice) in more of a traditional set, and it is a major adjustment to start running zone read type of stuff. Also, I believe that a decent amount of upper classmen were very loyal to Sharpley.

It just seemed like the worst possible choice, and it seemed like he made it because he was worried about Jones' transferring (which he ended up doing anyway). When Weis took over at Kansas, there was a kid who I coached against who was a qb at KU and who was a similar type of player and personality to Jones. He wanted to be wooed to stay at KU and didn't even show up to the first meeting; Weis, showing that he had actually learned something from his experience (though, don't worry, not very much) immediately dismissed him from the team.
