He Knows!!I legitimately think there’s a possibility the Norfolk St coach doesn’t know UIC and ISU are in the same conference.

If Jussie Jones goes to UIC, he’s bringing guys with him. Might as well play at Horton again and make it PPV.Does he even know UIC and Illinois State are in the same conference?
and he better know that he is going from a non-diverse university (85% black/african american) to a university that is considered very diverse however UIC black/african american student population is only 8%. Hispanic is the largest group at uic with 28%. Though in Chicago the uic culture will be very different. I hope he ends up there. I just do not see a good fit and believe he will struggle. ... yea I am rooting against him given how he treated ISU!He Knows!!
Does the MVC get the chance to approve or reject a potential hire? Based on the article linked in this thread, I think it could be possible UIC forgot or wasn't aware of the Horton (non) incident, results of the investigation, and that Jones refused to participate. I get the sense they were ready to offer him the job and then this was brought to their attention.You'd think hiring Coach Jones would ruffle some feathers at ISU and the MVC. His program refused to cooperate in our investigation and rejected the results. If the MVC is okay with this, then they are stupid and have little respect for ISU. Also, remember that Jones said he would never talk to Pedon again. There are good natured rivalries and I would love to have one with UIC. This would not be that. This would be very bad for the MVC unless there is serious reconciliation.
I think some of it may be coach’s agents floating their names out there, looks good on them if schools are considering them for hire. Could give them ammo to get an extension or more money at current school, or put on other schools radars if not alreadyThe amount of bullsheep rumors regarding the hiring of a coach is beyond ridiculous. Not indicting anyone here, I realize you're just passing along social media "gems."

With the way Jones tells stories, wouldn’t surprise me if he was the source.I think some of it may be coach’s agents floating their names out there, looks good on them if schools are considering them for hire.
