It is time for JSU to make a bold move by buying out Hughes contract (which is $100,000) and hire Chris Jones. I know there is no chance of this will happen but someone has to consider this option since he is Jackson State Graduate and a proven young successful coach. Since he is currently a high school coach he knows how to develop players and should do well recruiting because of his contacts with other Mississippi High School coaches.
It is no surprise that first-year head coach Chris Jones has taken the Starkville Yellowjackets to the MHSAA 6A semifinals this season.
Jones, in his eighth year of coaching, has been in the semifinals four times, and won the 3A state championship last season with Kemper County.
