6th January, 2008 - 6:53 pm
ESPN - SMU is close to finalizing the details of a contract for Hawaii Coach June Jones, and he is expected to be introduced at a news conference as soon as Monday, a source close to the situation said Sunday.

Jones' contract is proposed to be for five years at close to $2 million per year. The deal is expected to be booster-funded, as well. SMU AD Steve Orsini reportedly has sold as many as 20 boosters on the concept of donating as much as $100,000 per year for five years.

Jones, who flew to Dallas on Saturday, will bring an exciting offense and instantly make nearly twice as much as any other coach in Conference USA. [READ]
