This is actually the perfect job for Jones. No, really! SMU's a football program with nothing, just like Hawaii was when Jones took over in 1999. The five seasons before he helmed the Warriors went: 3-8-1, 4-8, 2-10, 3-9, and 0-12. SMU's record in recent years are equally abysmal.

This time around, Jones has two clear advantages which will ease this rebuilding process, and they both pertain to location. Texas is one of the most prolific high school football states in our nation, so he won't have to drive far to seek out some of America's best talent. Plus, most of it is in Dallas. Secondly, SMU is in the Central time zone, which means they have way more potential for TV exposure. Hawaii may be a heck of a program that just happens to be in a tropical paradise, but any team that has to travel five hours and play a football game at the equivalent of midnight Eastern is going to tire in the late quarters. (Not to mention alienate several casual sports fans.) Hell, relocate Notre Dame's team to Guam and even LSU would probably blow the game in the fourth quarter.

June Jones already has the reputation of being an offensive pioneer, so recruiting on that side of the ball won't be too hard, even if a similar football program is in the same state. ("Oh, you want to play for Texas Tech? Yeah? How many BCS games did they play in this decade? Yeah. Oh, and try a bite of this steak. Now find something that tender in Lubbock.")

Also, Jones is reportedly going to make $2 million a year. Yeah, can't imagine why he left the islands.
