Erdmann was asked if there was any thought to extending Jones a year or two for recruiting purposes.

"There was consideration but also financial consideration for what is prudent and what is earned," Erdmann answered.

How many wins do the Jags need for Jones to get a extension?

The AD didn't place a number on it. Instead wants to "give our fans something to cheer about, to be proud of and to point to the future where we no where our direction is.

"Yes, we have to achieve at a certain level this year, obviously, but feeding into that is what 2018 hold for us?"

Finally, he was asked a direct question. Is this program where it needs to be and done what it has had to for Jones and his staff to continue?

"I think so, yes," he said. "But we have to see the results on the field."
