Answer 2

Jones is willing to hire an infit person to run our athletics in order to get some federal funds. His day is coming. He already knows he's going to get fired. He went to a donor meeting on the coast and told them he knew they were trying to get rid of him. Jones needs to quit playing politics with the Chancellor's position. The Chancellor should be neutral politically but he can do what he wants as a citizen. He's using his job as a political hammer.

Answer 5

Jones had the Democratic Governor nominee as his guest in the Chancellor's box at Rebel football games. He introduced him as the next Governor of Mississippi at an Ole Miss function with the Republican nominee present. He's digging his own grave.

Answer 6

You seem to be rather paranoid about this issue.

Answer 7

Calling me paranoid about political issues is like the pot calling the kettle black. I'm not the one all over the Rivals network talking politics and looking for a political argument. I don't think our Chancellor should be using his position to take political stances. What he does in private is his own business. Keep Ole Miss out of it.

Answer 8

Our academic ratings have fallen under his watch. That's enough for me.

Answer 9

Using politics for his self advancement rather than thinking of the University. He is in a position whereby he must do what is best for the U not DJ's personal gain. C'mon CPA you get it!

Answer 10

Actually, you are the one who brought up the rumor. Let's get one thing straight: Ole Miss has actually been the #1 UNIVERSITY RECIPIENT OF GOVERNMENT PORK many years, and is always near the top of the list. Not because of liberals, but because of Thad Cochran, Haley Barbour, and all their lobbyist friends in Washington, D.C.

And that's a fact, not a silly rumor.

Answer 11

Where in the heck did the Craig Robinson for AD rumor even come from. Is this just some psycho-crazy conspiracy theory. I mean can you really be more out in left field than this?

Answer 14

Obama will be nothing but a bad memory by the time we hire an AD.

Answer 15

Were not hiring a new AD until 2017?

Answer 16

You dont read the polls, unfortunately for all of us, and too many people, like some dogs, love to roll in doo.Most dogs are smarter.

Answer 17

Well it looks like this post started as a non-sports, non-Ole Miss post and it is very clear that zreb thinks that olemiss.rivals.com is a very different site than what the rest of us think it is. I recommend you take your politics to a site where people actually want to hear it. This is not that place.

Answer 18

makes it political it is. Speak to him not me.I wont be taking any of your recs btw.

Answer 19

No one on here can provide one example of Dan Jones being 'political' as chancellor. Taking the Democratic gubernatorial candidate to a football game and/or dinner or whatever means nothing. You're mistaking having a political opinion for bringing politics into his job. Everyone has the right to express their political opinion.

I seriously doubt that Craig Robinson is being considered. This is probably something made up by Forward Rebels to make noise because no one cares about them anymore. I hope we hire someone who is all ready an athletic director at another school, but if we didn't, Craig Robinson would not be a bad hire, actually. Head coaching experience, MBA in finance from Univ. of Chicago, tons of experience in the private sector managing major investment firms, and obviously a ton of PR opportunities.

I personally hope we go after an AD like the guy from Baylor or UVA, but we will probably make the 'yawn' hire of Sean Touhy.

Answer 20

I guess if Jones wanted to replace Boone with an MD and we discussed it here you would say the discussion is about medicine. IMO discussions about possible replacements for Boone are definitely about athletics.

Answer 21

... a transcript of Jones' remarks when they dedicated the rain water runoff collection area now known as "Silver Pond."

Originally posted on The Colonel's Quarters by Robin501.

Answer 22

That's a stretch ranchreb. You and I both know this is a political thread horribly disguised as an Ole Miss AD discussion. Interestingly enough, Dan Jones has a MD degree yet the practice of medicine is never referred to in a discussion on this board, yet politics is grossly thrown out there. Neither has a place on this board as a basis for a discussion.

Answer 23

Dan is a much better FP than he is a chancellor. Actually, come to think of it, I don`t think DJ has ever practiced medicine. Dan is an OK administrator, but is in way over his head in this job. RK wanted a puppet, now he has one. Ole Miss is tough, so I pray that she can overcome anyone`s mismanagement for a short while if he can learn on his own rapidly without too many "suggestions" from past administration "hanger ons".

Answer 24

One of these days, people are going to wake up and realize that the primary motivation behind the "Forward Rebels" group and most of their minions has nothing to do with Ole Miss sports and a lot to do with Dan Jones' political views.

Originally posted on The Colonel's Quarters by RebHoo.

Answer 25

I'm afraid you are right RebHoo, but I think a general dislike for Pete Boone is a major driver for that group as well.

Anyone ready to get back to sports discussions?

Originally posted on The Colonel's Quarters by RebelFIL.

Answer 26

No doubt about it.

Originally posted on The Colonel's Quarters by jarodDHS.

Answer 27

I think F R was instrumental in moving Boone out. Hopefully they can do the same with Jones. Although their tactics can be troubling, sometimes the end justifies the means.
