Clark essentially gave Jones an ultimatum in changing the way he calls certain things or taking his full state retirement. Jones chose retirement. He wanted one more year before retirement but didn't want to change his philosophies in certain situations.

What do you mean by this? Coverages, blitzes, etc?

Absolutely. Great position coach, bad coordinator.

There are few coaches that gave more the Jones in the history of our program. Best of luck in retirement and thanks for making those young men better football players, but more so better men.

I know I called for his head but he did give his all it was just time for a change. Still feel he got in over his head and should have stayed LB coach.

Next man up!

If this is true, which you seem pretty trustworthy so I think it is, he needed to go. If he was so set in his ways as a coach that he wasn’t willing to make some changes for the benefit of the team, he doesn’t need to be coaching. Add on his poor use of Twitter, and I’m glad he’s gone. And he’s getting full state retirement benefits?? Yeah, I don’t feel bad for this guy. Later, Dale.

Thanks Coach!

He’s why we “Give our ALL for Appalachian State.” Yes, it’s time, but we are better off for having him over the years.

Wow. The man earned his retirement. I'm sure he is hurting over this too. The man literally dedicated half of his life to App St. Get a life

Coaches have different philosophies on things. Doesn't make him a bad person or coach.

Since you're in the know, and I'm not being a smart ass, do you know if there will be any changes to next year's schedule? Or do those things get announced more so in the spring? I wouldn't think so but I've been looking forward to the trip to Wyoming since it was announced years ago and it's a game I've always worried would get changed.

I have no idea about scheduling. I'd imagine it stays the same, but that's just a guess.

I’d like to thank coach… for absolutely nothing!

JK, I was one who was calling for a change in the DC. I still believe SC is in over his head, personally, let’s see how his changes play out next year…

Thanks Jones for your service and best wishes!
