How much longer does Joey Jones have to wait?

[Jamos]

I've been following Joey since he took his first coaching job in high school and he has had nothing but success whereever he has been. His team now at South Alabama is  making some waves by playing some big name programs and representing themselves very well. He has quietly built a good program at South Alabama and surely some of the major schools are taking notice.

I think it will happen in the very near future.

did he say something that would make one think he wanted to move up ?

Southern Miss surely needs some help.  That might be a small stepping stone for him.

Good question. I have thought he may take an assistant job at a big school but it looks like he is waiting on HC job. A lot of big schools are hiring top assistants now. In the SEC UF, UGA, Miss St, Vandy and UK all hired assistants with no HC experience. Ole Miss and the barn both hired former assistants that had limited HC experience.

HL is right Southern Miss needs to do something to turn their program around.

I am a Joey Jones fan. If you have not read his book he wrote many years ago it is a good read. It is named "In Good Hands". It is about his time at Alabama. He was recruited and played for Bear Bryant right before he retired. He was there for the transition to Ray Perkins. As an undersized player he had to prove himself all over again.

No not at all, I was just wondering why his name hasn't been on any lists where programs aren't doing so well.

ok , I have no reason to think Joey is going anywhere soon
Mark had him on the radio show and it was supposed to be
for a hour , it ran more like 1.5 hours

all Joey talked about is how he is a hometown boy and
loves it at south and wants to build the program in DI
bowl games a such , loves Mobile

yea' I know "coach speak" but Joey ?

went to the same high school as Joey
we had the same football coaches , teachers , friends
one of my best friends wives is Joey's secretary at USA
we had lunch yesterday

I'm not going to ask Joey straight out
but you bet I'll ask others on the DL of course

already called , left message

for the record
I think Joey would make a great coach at most any DI college
do I want him to leave ? heck no !
will he ? maybe . but if he does it will be 100% on the up and up
does he deserve it ? absolutely .

maybe down the road a ways , I just don't see right now

I don't know that he would ever want to leave and couldn't blame him if he didn't because of his happiness. I just thought his name should have been out there on some lists already because of his coaching success so far.

I think so too Jamos , obviously , I want him to stay  
but I also know you are somewhat connected and thought you may
have some info that wasn't public knowledge .

he just hired Coach Freddie Roach , moved him here
and has made some great choices on his staff .
I haven't talked to Freddie in past few weeks but the last
time I did everything was great ...

I thank Joe G. for getting Joey down here , hate he retired from USA

some of you may not know but Joey committed to FSU originally
then later change his interest to Alabama after some really good advice .
sure glad he took it ...

I didn't know about FSU.  To this day, my game day jersey is still #4.  All the band wagon fans assume it's for Marquis Maze, Mark Barron, T. J. Yeldon, or even Prothro, but I was wearing #4 before those pups were ever born.

[XBAMA]

he got #4 at Alabama , but he wore #28 at Murphy High
I can't remember his number from Metrie Park Ball
 

[SUPERCOACH]

I will never forget that Penn State game.  As a young kid I knew that was a TD because #4 was standing right there and he raised his hands and said it was a TD.

#4 > crooked ref
