Is McCasland allowed back in Jonesboro?

[Cooley]

Left them after one year

recruited players for UNT on ASU’s Dime

took all the assistants with him

took a player already on their roster. 

Current recond is 6 - 13 and 1-5 in conference

loses to a bunch of shithole schools.

Does anyone really make Jonesboro a destination?

[greenjoe]

Some guy named Jones did.

Didn't they get a buyout from us?

Yes. After a bunch of passive aggressive comments from their petty athletic director.

Half a million.  Ought to have been plenty to add to what they were already paying to hire a solid coach.

Was this a concern for you with JJ and LSU being allowed back in Denton?

can you say the last statement?

There is little comparison between Jones and McCasland on this point.   Jones had been hc at NT for a long time in coach years and left for his dream job.   I doubt many blamed Jones for that decision. 

McCasland had been at ASU one year and pretty much took ASU recruiting class including players that had already signed plus a current member of the squad.   The NT job is a step up, but I doubt ASU fans see it that way.  

The recruiting thing is pretty standard when a coaching staff leaves, the players recruited by that staff are going to be allowed to look elsewhere.  Leaving after one year is not going to please any school that loses their coaching staff.  

The other side is that NT paid more money and offered McCasland an opportunity to be close to family.  There are a lot of coaches that would bolt for those reasons.

Jones wasn't perfect, but I enjoyed his era.  I don't know Cooley, and don't know why he seems to enjoy picking at JJ's career in Denton.

TBH, I wondered if he posted this thread just to have a little fun.

[Cooley]

Totally just for fun. What problems did I have with JJ other than his recruiting his first few years?  Serious question.
