Jones is a great coach...but has zero loyalty
he'll leave the first chance he gets
Or usurp the job of those above him, which is why he might not get hired.
You can't blame a guy for seeking promotions. A position coach is worth enough to be comparable to any position in the CFL and it presents promotional opportunities. If you can become a Coordinator in the NFL, ala Mark Trestman, it's a massive promotion financially that any reasonable person should want to take. Let's not even mention what being a head coach would mean. A man has to do what's best for his family. Moving back to your native country and for a big payday is a honest decision for a man to make even if it's inconvenient for CFL teams to accept.
Chris Jones is a very good coach and I for one really enjoyed watching the team in the years he coached. I'd be happy to see if he can repeat his previous success even if it's a short term arrangement. Winning is what matter most and that's what he does. A good QB with his D is a recipe for success IMO.
