To answer your first question, if I had a contract in place then I would expect to maintain the same level of pay.StorminASU wrote:Why do you think we should keep his salary the same? If you underperform at work and they cut your hours/demote you, would you honestly expect to maintain the same level of pay? If so, can I get an application?ASUMountaineer wrote:Pride can be a funny thing, but so can a paycheck. If we keep his salary where it is (which I think we should), he'd be getting paid the same amount for doing less work and having less responsibility. Unless a better job/better pay comes along, he might just take that option. There are worse things than getting paid the same to do less.asumike83 wrote:Ha, was just about to post this myself! Best case scenario would be to keep Jones on as LB coach and bring in an experienced DC. Not sure how happy he would be about the demotion but he is an excellent position coach. Happy to see that SS is acting swiftly.
To answer your second question, no you can not get an application.
GlassOnion nailed it. He has a contract in place, and his salary is pretty darn low for a position coach at the FBS level (yes, I'm aware we are currently FCS). The point of my post, which you didn't address, was that DJ may take that option--if Football Scoop is correct, then he has taken that option.
