Coach Jones got the job done at Alabama A&M this year and now wants more money for him, his staff and the football program. Sounds reasonable, right? 41-18 over the last five years speaks volumes of the coach. Time to put the $$$ where it needs to go...

Letter states A&M coach would like to renegotiate deal
Alabama A&M president Robert Jennings is expected to meet with football coach Anthony Jones to discuss renegotiating his contract, Jones' attorney told The Huntsville Times on Thursday night.
Myles Solomon, Jones' attorney, sent Jennings a letter Wednesday informing him that Jones wanted to negotiate a new deal. Jones has four years remaining on a contract that he signed following the 2005 season. The contract guarantees Jones $117,500, which includes $105,000 base salary and $12,500 for his radio/television show.
"Dr. Jennings and Coach Jones are going to sit down and talk soon," Solomon said. "It could be as early as this weekend."
In a copy of the letter The Times obtained, Solomon said not only did Jones want more money, he wanted more money for his staff and for the program. Solomon said they hadn't settled on a particular amount.
