A lot of smoke out there regarding JJ approaching the Bruins. Jones contract at UH is up, Hawaii's A.D. is not the sharpest tool in the shed, and there have been multiple sources out there discussing this. Some local businessmen/alumni types are supposedly raising outside money to help keep Jones at UH, but will it be enough? FWIW, I have also heard Norm Chow's name being thrown around as a possible candidate at UCLA. Might be something to keep an eye on.

Norm Chow has been to and failed to grab the ring in several head coaching interviews. Strike him from the list.
As for June Jones - man, that could be a huge mistake by UCLA to invite him onto the LA campus.
The upsides -
Transfers - do you doubt that he would likely bring (by transfer) one or more O-line players and his next Stepford QB.
Sass - that wide-open Offense.
The downside?
Players you want but few else do - Remember the trail that took Brennan to Hawaii, do they really want someone who would out do Rodriguez in overlooking indiscretions when recruiting players?
Age - Not overly old at 54, but he is no spring chicken either.
That wide open Offense - does he really have the players on UCLA's roster to make it work, can he make it work even in the PAC-10 anyway?
Its a Ploy - He may be using this to simply leverage a better situation in Hawaii.
