A friend of mine who is connected to local media mentioned June Jones this evening. His name has never crossed my mind. He has a lot of experience, having coached at non-Power 5 schools, in the NFL, and played and coached under Mouse Davis - the original run-and-shoot guru. Currently he is coaching in the CFL. He definitely has the Oregon and Islander ties and connections, but he’s also in his early to mid 60s. I have no idea how seriously his name is being floated in this process. What do you all think?
One other note: my friend has heard it from a strong source that there is zero chance that Les Miles is serious about coming here. That will bring relief to a few of you (though I will never understand why), and disappoint a lot of others (although I’d bet that most of us figured that it was highly unlikely that he would be serious about OSU right now)

Mostly, it has been in jest! Aren't you the guy that said Les Miles would come here and the defense would be so good that it would hold most opponents to 17 a game and that would be enough to win most games? PS- the Beavs are by far last in offense (points per game) and they are averaging 20 points a game. I think the next is around 28 a game, so.... 17 a game, wouldn't cut the mustard here! Even in a crap year like this has been for the PAC 12. Go Beavs!

How far down the line are these sources. So take that for what it's worth... zip!

I believe Kerry Eggers mentioned Jones as a likely candidate in his last Tribune article. I assumed it was more than pure speculation.

On the other hand, I find it interesting that no one, as far as I can tell, has directly asked Miles if he is thinking about Oregon State, nor has he denied the rumor. I know it is not common for coached to say that they are talking to a specific university, but I feel like it is fairly common for coaches to deny such a thing...even when they are in contact. For what it's worth, here is an article about Miles link to Oregon State: fansided.com/2017/11/09/les-miles-interested-oregon-state-job/As far as a boy named June...I'm not that excited about him, but I suppose there could be worse.

Even in a crap year like this has been for the PAC 12. Go Beavs! What’s your point? I believe that about Miles, but he’ll take a higher profile job than this one. I don’t remember who’s tune you kept whistling for the job, was it Casey’s brother? Because we know that coaching at Aloha and George Fox should translate to D1 Power 5 success in football. I’m not saying that he couldn’t be successful, but I’m confident that we’re Miles truly a candidate his chances of being a “home run hire’” would be considerably better than Casey’s. Seems like you may have coached with him at Aloha - therefore you are much more qualified than me to consider what’s best for OSU football. In the end, neither you nor I or anyone on this board knows squat about what we really need or who is going to be our next coach. I’m not surprised that Miles isn’t serious about this, and I’m not stumping for Jones at all. I just wondered about people’s perspectives on him.

I do believe that we have to take pretty much all of the speculation for what it’s worth right now. The conversations on here are more designed to keep interest up and bide time while the search committee (hopefully) does what they’re paid to do in this process. To see our responses, you’d think that a bunch of us will mutiny if candidate X gets the job instead of whomever we favor. I’d bet that if this process is followed with integrity by Barnes and Ray, our next coach will be someone pretty much everyone can get behind. One thing is for sure, there is no way that any selection will please everyone, because the opinions regarding what our program needs in it’s next leader are as divergent as it gets.

Now that I’ve looked through this thread, I noticed that seastape linked Eggers’ article from today. Eggers was my friend’s source, but I hadn’t seen the article. I trust what Kerry says about anything regarding Beaver football infinitely more than any other journalist around here, and certainly more than posters on a message board.

I wouldn't doubt that Jones would be interested but Eggers isn't always accurate over the years. hopefully barnes knows he has to find top notch recruiters/closers to get competitive again.

Thanks for just giving your opinion without taking a shot. Could you elaborate on why you feel that strongly (I’m assuming you mean: an emphatic “no thanks”??). I feel like he’s a bit old, but he checks a lot of boxes and we definitely wouldn’t have a dull offense. I don’t know if he’d be high on my list, but we could do a lot worse than him, and I don’t mean “settling” either. Thanks in advance.

I had kinda thought June Jones was already a little long in the tooth, and then he makes the stupid decision to try to add Art Briles as his Offensive Coordinator in the CFL. He had to backtrack when word got out. I'd prefer a coach who's judgement is a bit more sound. I'm assuming Miles isn't coming, so I'll be happy with Tedford or Baldwin.

His 2006 Hawaii team went 11-3. Lost at Alabama 17-25. Lost at Boise 34-41. Lost at home to Oregon State 32-35.
2007 team went 12-1. Only loss to Georgia in Sugar Bowl.
Oregon State was the only team to beat them in Hawaii over the 2006-07 seasons.
In 2005 they had a tough schedule. #1 USC, #15 Wisconsin, #18 Boise State, #22 Fresno State, Michigan State
