The die is cast. Jones may not realize how close he is to being shown the door. Fulmer wasn't and he had been around UT for decades. Or maybe he just truly believes in Scott... or... most likely... He believes in his system and wants it to continue to be run HIS way.
If I had to guess, the last option is what Jones is hanging his job on. Shoop has to bring the D around and then Jones has to hope that Dobbs' freelancing wasn't the thing that caused Jones' O to work at all.
