Amazing how television always loved showing the 2 of them yelling at each other, but never explained that they don't hate each other, its just one of those things. There was a Parcells / Simms yelling fit they used to show, they didn't make a big deal out of it
As an Illinois fan I can say I was a fan of Jeff George’s ability. He was just too much of a selfish prick which is why his career went the way it did. Course most young men with success and extreme popularity get a bit arrogant and cocky. If I was a generational talented qb and people worshipped the ground I walked on I couldn’t say I would be a whole lot different
He also looked 45 when he was 23 haha. He actually looks the same now as he did back then. Where were his friends and family is what I wanna know, cuz that early mustache was atrocious haha
It's kind of ridiculous, George was coming off an incredible season and before the season starts is told "if you struggle I'm going to bench you." That is just HORRIBLE management.
He has his games backwards - the first game was against Carolina and they lost 29-6, but the second game was against the Vikings and that's where the situation where George getting sacked and missing a wide-open Mathis with the game on the line happened, and the blowup happened against the Eagles in the third game.
Great interview. Still a fan of Jeff George & much respect for June Jones.

Totally agree with June.....they stay together.....Jeff is wearing a Gold Coat
Good to hear Coach June Jones…I remember that incident with Jeff who was a hot head but man he threw the football like no other QB.
Like no other? Compared to who?

Dude had a cannon for sure....
June Jones......good QB coach and nothing else.

Yeah sounds like the front office was looking to get rid of him either way. Which in the end they did.
Bobby Hebert was no slouch, I'm not shocked that happened. Michigan Panthers, Oakland Invaders, New Orleans Saints. Legit
Jeff George threw lazers, dude could throw the ball 60 yds in a building with a 20ft ceiling
June has revisionist history...that first game at Carolina was not that close and George struggled that whole game...
He has his games backwards - the first game was against Carolina and they lost 29-6, but the second game was against the Vikings and that's where the situation where George getting sacked and missing a wide-open Mathis with the game on the line happened, and the blowup happened against the Eagles in the third game.
JG thought he should neve be taken out of a game. JJ was the HC and had to choose his best option to win.
Doesn't make either one a bad guy.
June Jones was a horrible coach with the falcons.
