Tony Jones isn't going 7-1 so this thread is bogus. Did you not see him on the sideline yesterday? He had all the other coaches in his ear throwing out ideas because he just doesn't have any clue.
I don't think what he did for a couple minutes at the end of the last game is an indicator of how Jones will do when he has time to prepare to be the acting coach.
This is Pearl's team. Any good Jones does will --at least mostly--reflect back on Pearl--UNLESS, he pulls a Majors and loses about 5 games in a row when he gets back.
