Breaking News: Renowned Former NFL and NCAA Head Coach Apprehended Last Weekend
In an unfortunate turn of events this weekend, a prominent figure in the football community found himself on the wrong side of the law. June Jones, an experienced hand in both NCAA and NFL arenas, was taken into custody on charges of driving under the influence.
As reported by Stephen Tsai from the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, Jones, erstwhile coach for both the University of Hawaii Rainbow Warriors and the Atlanta Falcons, was arrested at approximately 9:28 PM. He subsequently posted a $500 bail to secure his release. Jones kept his comments brief following the incident, stating, "I was speeding, and got stopped. I was coming from eating dinner. That's all I need to say right now."
Jones, currently flexing his strategic skills as the offensive coordinator for the XFL's Seattle Sea Dragons, has a long and storied career in football coaching. He led the Falcons' coaching staff from 1994 to 1996, achieving a win-loss record of 19-29.
Jones' journey took him next to the San Diego Chargers as their quarterbacks head coach. He temporarily took over the reins after Kevin Gilbride was dismissed, recording a 3-7 record during this 10-game stint.
He then took up the mantle of the head coach at the University of Hawaii in 1999. During his nine-year tenure with the Rainbow Warriors, Jones proudly boasted a 76-41-0 record, piloting the team to three Hawaii Bowl victories.
The Southern Methodist University Mustangs was his next port of call in 2008. Over several seasons, he amassed a 36-43-0 record, steering the team to victories at the BBVA Compass Bowl and the Hawaii Bowl.
Jones has seen action in the Canadian Football League as well, helming the Hamilton Tiger-Cats between 2017 and 2018. Following the league's resurgence, he took up the coaching role for the Houston Roughnecks of the XFL in 2020. His recent arrest marks a regrettable episode in the career of this respected football figure.
