After a 10:30 arrival and a quick trip to makeup, Jones was on set for ESPN First Take with Dana Jacobson. After that segment, Coach Jones did a live radio interview with the ESPN station in Pittsburgh and then took part in a live online chat on ESPN.com
Following lunch in the world famous ESPN Cafeteria, with ESPN College Football executives and reporter Joe Schad, Jones taped a podcast with senior writer Ivan Maisel for the ESPNU College Football Podcast which will be available next week.
From there it was back to a different studio where Coach Jones taped a segment of College Football Live with Erik Kuselias and Trevor Matich.
After a brief tour of the Sportscenter set, it was off to a studio across the hall where the Scott Van Pelt show is taped. Coach Jones presented Van Pelt and co-host Ryen Russillo with a UC helmet for their TV set.
