This could be very close to the truth.

No, doesn't look good, but not going to waste time tearing down a good man. It's not right and it doesn't help the current team or the program.

If it were up to you we’d still have June Jones coaching our football team.

Over-react much? You guys are right, this is the exact same scenario as June Jones. The first sub-par season, lots of frustration heading into the new season. Lots of stories about difficulties on the recruiting trail. Frustration with the assistant coaches. Complaints about practice. Honestly, exactly the same.
And, very similarly, nobody blindly backed June Jones. Or Jank. All we are saying is that things will play out. We made a point that June had earned one year to turn things around. He actually had one game and the plug was pulled. This is Jank's year to turn things around. And if he doesn't (and of course it very clearly looks like he won't), the plug will be pulled. We all know that is going to happen, and it will be the right move when it does. And SMU will go and do the work to find a high quality replacement, just like they have done in football and in BB over the past 5 years. Rip on Hart and the admin all you want for the disaster of the reseat (much deserved scorn), but they have actually done a good job recently of identifying good coaches to bring in.

You’re absolutely right. It is exactly like June Jones all over. Just like June, Jank has avoided contact with quality recruits that showed interest in SMU. Just like June Jones, Jank chose to recruit diamonds in the rough with no offers. Just like June Jones, Jank is absolutely disconnected from social media. Just like June Jones, Jank makes a bunch of excuses as to why the losses are piling up without taking any accountability. Just like when June Jones was the coach, Jank has you still being a sun-shiner.
