Where is this guy?

He was still living in Obion County last I heard,but that was back in the summer...

If you are a school that's looking for one heck of a basketball coach then you should probably consider hiring this guy because his past success speaks for itself.

i thought before what ended up bringing an end to his coaching OC , that with the extremely hard work he put his players through and what he pulled out of the less talented Rebels of that team was amazing. He would definately be a great choice for anyone looking for a coach. But the extra baggage that will come along might be too much for a school to take on. I understood that he was a great educator as well.

There is a way to do things and a way not do things....Pretty much all that needs to be said about it......

 

"Baggage"....That was exactly the word I thought about when I first read this thread...

Maybe someone should have checked him out before hiring him. I do beleive Kail wanted the job then.I think he was trying to do to much to soon, and his temper got the best of him.He is a great coach despite all his tactics. Best of luck to him and his family- Might try college level!

I played for Coach Jones when he was a coach for Sycamore. I must say he is one of the best coaches I have ever been around. He did more than just win and just coach, he taught his players how to grow up and become men. Yes there were some times when we second guessed some of the things he did, but in the end we all saw why he did it, and it made us better.

 

But to answer the question he is currently in Michigan where his family lives and where he was from. Im not to sure what he is doin though.

When you speak of baggage, that goes both ways.

There was baggage with Jones, and there was baggage with the OC program.

Jones and his baggage are gone (although, personally, I liked the guy). Hopefully, the baggage within the program (mostly brought on by the Wicked Witch of the Northwest) will soon be a thing of the past, too.

Like I said in a previous post, I just hope my friends in OC will leave Bill and Eddie alone and let them coach their teams. And, I hope the administration (from the DoS on down) will close that door that's been opened in recent years. ... When that door closes, so too will the revolving ones on the coaches' offices.

Amen....
