I think HMO is just frustrated because he doesn't know what's going on.....he's not used to that.

Back in 98 there was an uproar when RD was not initially even asked to interview for the permenant position after being interum coach for a year. He was then was granted one after the fact like a dog being thrown a bone. I personally doubt if the new head man will come from the existing staff. Coach Jones getting an interview may, I repeat MAY be a PR move.I think it's important to note that Dr. Falwell and company have been extremely impressed with Coach Jones. Not to mention that he has the ear of Alex, whom holds the key to our success for next season, IMO. Not that Barber would pick the next head coach based upon one player but Coach Jones is well liked and well known by most involved with the team, including the players.

ok- let the rumormongering and conjecture continue:
1. We know Coach Jones is getting an interview
there seems to be general agreement on the following names that keep circulating (in no particular order)
2. John Cooper
3. Ritchie McKay
4. Rick Duckett
5. John Pelphrey
that makes 5, but there may be a wild card (s)- is Tom Brennan seriously in contention? hearing both sides of this argument, but it certainly makes things interesting.
let the arguments commence.
