Glad they appear to have caught it early.

man, that is terrible, but hopefully being found early means just a little setback.

We are all pulling for a full and speedy recovery.

Touches very close to home for me.

We're all with you Coach!!!!

Get well quick JJ!

Best place in the world for him to be. Prayers...

Prayers to JJ! Get well soon!

Prayers to Coach Jones and his family. Luckily this is a very survivable form of cancer if detected early, which hopefully is the case.

Our prayers go out for you and your family, Coach Jones. Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.

Best of luck to Coach Jones in his recovery.

I have to wonder, did this have anything to do with the terrible cough of his during the season? At first glance I would say no as the two aren't really related but perhaps he was getting some sort of treatment for it already that would have lead to that cough?

Either way, let's hope he recovers 100%.

We're all rooting for you, Coach, for a speedy recovery, and our prayers go out to you and your family.

RR, he referenced his cough during the Coaches Caravan on Wed. He said it usually goes away on the off season, but is an annual occurance. I don't believe it is related in any way.

Yeah, I asked him about it at the Richmond caravan as well. He said it was related to having to raise his voice during practices and games (yelling).

Thoughts and prayers to Coach Jones and his family. Hang in there Coach! Your extended family is with you.

Wow, he did the Beach Coaches Caravan appearance this week before going in for his surgery/treatment. Says a lot about his dedication to good old ODU. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you Coach, get well soon.

Best wishes to coach Jones and family. He is my favorite ODU coach, just ahead of Sonny Allen.

God's speed Coach Jones!

Dude it's only a finger so get yourself tested I went through this three months ago so I wish him nothing the best and luckily they caught it early like me and hopefully be fine too

Best wishes to Jeff Jones and his family. He's in good hands at John Hopkins.

Looking forward to seeing Coach Jones and the Monarchs this coming season.
