JONESBORO -- It wasn't just a matter of what Arkansas State Coach Butch Jones had to say Saturday night from the Red Wolves' team meeting room.
After 13 seasons as a head coach, Jones is a master of speaking in platitudes and generalities. He's got phrases that are mainstays of weekly and postgame news conferences.
Much of what the 54-year-old Jones detailed about the future of ASU football was but a reprise of a nearly seven-minute soliloquy from Tuesday.
Except for one line.
"We will do a full examination and evaluation of everyone in our program, and then we will invite the individuals that we feel deserve to be invited back to be a part as we build this football family.
