If Jason Jones got this wrong, I hope the Bee cans his arse. I cannot believe that Coach Malone would give a reporter that information without first talking to each of the coaches.
I strongly suspect there's gonna be some kind of walk-back by Jones. At least I hope so.

On 1140 Malone he needs to get together with the current staff.

Petrie is working through June 30th. Smart has been relieved of duties. The rest of the coaches are still under contract until the 30th.
And thinking about, the coaches were helping run the draft workouts. So for this report to come out now would cause a more awkward situation if they were planning to have them continue helping with the workouts.

Its pretty much a no brainer though. Most of the time new coach = new assistant coaches. let alone new coach, new GM, new owner. And Bobby hasn't exactly put together a sterling gotta have him coaching record to somehow magically survive the normal process.
Could see him being retained in the organization along with other fan favorites like Jerry, but the assistants had to all know/assume they were out as soon as Smart was out.

Right. We all knew this, i thought.
James Ham probably got his info from Jason Jones.

Wow what a burn on Jason Jones. That's gotta get him fired doesn't it?
Not necessarily. They could both be right. He's no longer a coach but staying on in some other capacity.

Can Big V get jj fired please? Excellence at all levels.
He could have made it clear Bobby would be staying. The official media release made it pretty clear.
IMHO it's sloppy reporting, something he's made a habit of for a long time.

To be fair, he was reporting it a full three hours before the official release, always a chance his source was unaware of BJ's future role.
Look, I loved BJax as a player but there was really no indication he was all that spectacular as a coach. I'm glad he'll have a role in the future of the organization but I honestly wouldn't have been crushed if he did not.

Jason Jones looks like craig Robinson, so I have a hard time taking him serious anyway

Look, we always do this, but not liking a guy is not sufficient reason to pan his report when its right. And he was essentially right. And first. Kudos for once.
