On Hustler and Lawless they briefly discussed this with Steve Simmons and the consensus was that Jones' refusal to directly answer questions regarding a potential move to Saskatchewan this off-season to take the position of GM/head coach means he is as good as gone in Edmonton for 2016.

 

I wonder what the Riders are willing to pay?  $500,000? $600,000?  Maybe even $750,000?

 

Thoughts?

    Favourite quote from the Rider Forum thread so far.    "Hire Jones now!!!  It's a know brainer!!!"

    May I be the first to say what we are all thinking, here's to Chris Jones falling flat on his face and be less successful than New Coke in Riderland.

heard someone being interviewed, (radio, 1290 I think) saying Chris Jones probably makes 310 thousand dollars as head coach, and would make substantially more for both jobs.

 

question he was asked was "why would Jones move?"

 

answer was 1. control 2. money.

 

Obviously he will go there if he doubles his salary.

 

300 thousand is a lot, but 500 thousand is a lot more.

 

and, if he does the same thing again with sask, as he's done with Edmonton, who knows, the NFL might come calling.

 

based on what I've been hearing for the last few days, his ferocious defence in Edmonton is no fluke.

 

1290 sure has left 680 in the dust as far as sports coverage goes, at least for me.

Hey, if Jones does go to Saskatchewan doesn't that ensure the Bombers have a shot at Murphy or Sunderland at the end of 2016 ?

The classless clown was under contract when he left for Edmonton, and didn't seem to provide any notice to the Stamps. Clearly CFL contracts dont mean much. Stamps probably got a little cheddar from the Eskimos. 

dmonton doesn't even have to allow him to talk to the Riders, and why would they?

 

Jones left Calgary for Toronto not Edmonton, because Milanovich and Jones made a pact when they were in Montreal, whichever one was hired first as a Head Coach, he would hire the other.

Or you know it meant nothing and he just wanted to celebrate winning the grey cup. Pretty classless question to ask him 2 minutes after winning

Was gaining some respect for Lawless but... pretty much lost it with asking Jones that question. Steve Simmons is also a huge joke

Exactly that was total bullshit. No wonder Jones hates the media.

Well, TSN is sports all day everyday. CJOB is news, sports & discussion so not surprised you feel that way.
