I heard that he will not. Whether that is fact or rumor I can't say. 

It seems that his goal is to remain in education and coaching, but in a different state.

Good to know.  I had no clue but just figured he would, but then again...it makes sense.

May be going to NJ.

I would have to puke every day before going to work.

I guess we're waiting on Saban or someone that has won a super bowl to apply. To me that's the only thing that can beat winning the CFL as a head coach. 

I would think Jones’ resume would be the most appealing for sure.

What’s taking so long to hire Jonesy? You would have to be a complete idiotic fool to not hire him. It’s laughable that it’s even taking this long to get this done.

Who's ego is in the way?  Because Victory doesn't want to touch this coaching hire process.  This will be one person's decision.  Tim Bible.

AND there may be some proven names that are going to be hard to pass up.

I disagree 100%. There is a process that has to be played out. The qualified TEACHER and COACH will get the job. This decision is for Mr. Bible to make. Interviews will start happening soon. Coach Grider is not involved in the process at all.

I can agree with this.  And one thing that people seem to forget - or don't realize - Mr. Bible doesn't owe us a thing during this search ... other than hiring a qualified candidate.  Who the candidates are, when he will make a hire, what he is looking for, none of this is owed to us.  As fans, we want to know this information, but this is his and his alone to share if he wants.
