TNET: Former NFL coach thinks Mac Jones should be picked before Trevor Lawrence in NFL draft

Former NFL coach thinks Mac Jones should be picked before Trevor Lawrence in NFL draft

Most people that follow college football think that Trevor Lawrence will be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft. Not former NFL head coach June Jones. Read Update »

Mac Jones is the next Chris Weinke


Jan 29, 2021, 9:27 AM

He's gotta be able to run and create in this league. He'll be a good backup but his bugaboo in teh nfl is he's not going to have a receiver that's head and shoulders better than everyone else, or an Oline that is head and shoulders better than everyone else. And what if his team has no running game like the Texans and its all on him? He hardly got hit or rushed this year. Thats not like its going to be if you go play for Jets or the Jags. You'll be hit early and often. Its Trevor and then a toss up b/t wilson, lance, or fields for #2.

NFL as a HC just proves how good a judge of player potential he is. So much for what he thinks.

June Jones was a back-up QB for the Falcons over 5 years


Jan 29, 2021, 10:35 AM

from 1977 to 1981. Completing a whopping 75 passes out of 166 attempts for a total of 923 yards.

A pull quote on June Jones:
"Worst coach in America" June Jones now coaching Canada's worst team
The Comeback · 8/24/2017

Had some success in Hawaii, resigned in a 1-11 season at SMU, and his first season was 1-11 as well.
Terrible judge of talent and poor recruiter. 'Nuff said'
I think everyone else is right about Trevor. I have watched June's career for 35 years, in Houston, Atlanta, Hawaii and SMU (Dallas). His only real success was in Hawaii. He should have stayed there!

There you go, Former, and if he would have been that good at choosing players, the NFL wouldn't be looking in the college ranks for HC's, they would be offering June Jones those positions, nuff said about June Jones, and his opinion. NFL teams are lucky that he isn't picking players for them!!!!

Crump, seriously-this is someone with an opinion of any weight?? Yes Mac Jones is a good QB with a good OL and a running game. 2020 was a lot of Trevor and Trevor's legs, poor running game and poor pass protection which points back to not so good OL. Where do they dig these guys up for opinions?
Trevor is in an elite class of QB's. Jones comments are pitiful.

SOOO this is a guy who gets an article because of his obvious QB skills. Full Coaching History is REALLY impressive. To be fair, he had a good run at Hawaii

I guess ego requires these guys to make such over the top claims. I am sure Mac Jones is probably the best QB at the senior bowl, but would he be making such a claim if Trevor was there? We all know he wouldn't. I doubt he has done any analysis on Trevor specifically to be able to compare him to Jones.

Its irritating! Just say he is the best QB here at the Senior Bowl.

Are not the brightest tools in the shed. It's that type of thinking that led to several teams passing on DW. Turbisky? Really? It baffles me that they make such poor judgement. I'm not even in this business and I can see how pathetic the decision making is. Just look at the Browns history of QB selections. I could do a better job than that!

You can not compare two QB that are playing behind two different O Lines, and for that nutcase to do so and state that Mac Jones is better, is the exact reason he isn't a HC. If anybody was to ever hire him as a HC again with his past HC-ing record, they should be fired on the spot. He will not even come close to the definition of being an average college HC!!! And it was a very poor choice for SI to even use a person of such poor qualifications to get a comparison for any player of NFL quality!!!!

Assessments like this is probably why he is a "former" coach and not a "current" coach. The NFL ain't Hawaii coach. Also if Lawrence had the o line and receivers that Jones had you wouldn't even know who Mac Jones is. We will see what happens when he has to actually place the ball in a tight window instead of throwing it up or to wide open receivers.

His record as a head coach in the NFL is the only thing I need to look at. 22-36 is absolutely horrible. On top of that he isn’t even coaching in the NFL anymore.
