Clarkson Hires Casey Jones

After firing George Roll, Clarkson is going to be replacing him with Cornell associate head coach Casey Jones, according to Cap Carey. Jones spent one year at Clarkson as an assistant in the mid 90s, before spending over a decade as an assistant and associate head coach at Ohio State. He spent the last year as an associate head coach in Ithaca. This will be Jones’s first head coaching job.

I don’t know Jones, nor do I know what he is like as a coach, but I am still scratching my head over Roll being fired. Clarkson had gone through a bit of a rough patch, but that isn’t the easiest school to recruit to and they were coming off a period in which they had won the ECAC regular season title and gotten a #1 seed in the NCAA tournament.

But the main point to take away from this post is that they did not hire the Casey Jones who is the sidekick of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
