The source said Arizona State's explanation was that "it took too long" and the school president was moving on.
"We had accepted the deal," the source said. "I've never seen anything like this."
One source said negative reaction from fans and boosters to the selection of Jones prompted the reversal. Arizona State has now negotiated with and ended negotiations with two candidates, including Houston's Kevin Sumlin.

Soooo, I guess ASU just doesn't want a coach? Who is going to want to talk to them now, especially when you might get your contract nullified before you can even say yes to the job.

Why the negative reaction to JJ?

I think Jones turned them down like Sumlin did.
SMU has I think 5 alumni that are billionaires. Not many can go toe to toe with SMU with money.

Good question. He would have been a spectacular hire.

Apparently they offered and then pulled it. Pretty shitty move.

There's got to be something more to that.... Bizarre

Where's Rummel? Is he snorting whiskey and pounding his head on the wall?

this sounds more to me like they got rejected and are trying to somehow save face.

To save face it's reported they pulled it.

That's why he told his staff this morning that he was going to ASU?

Rummel vetoed the move.

Does this mean he's out of a job altogether?

Arizona State is really fricking this up. I cannot believe the stupidity of some of these people in such high ranking positions.

Melt down by the boosters. The big money guys dont want him...that's why it was pulled. The ASU football boards have been going nuts since he was first mentioned as a possibilty. They are tired of all offense no defense coaches.

Willy Robinson and Ted Roof are available.
But seriously. Do you guys consider Kirby Smart, Diaz from TX? Or a HC with a defensive philosophy? Whatever you guys do, don't hire Ron Zook. He's like the Norv Turner of CFB.

Pony fans are freaking out and absolutely hate JJ right now
