They blew the championship game (were better than Southern), but either something else is going on behind the scenes or the expectations there are sky high.

A lack of local recruiting. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaaf-dr- ... kA4PJNbK5_

What an odd decision. Top 20 in attendance in FCS with a very good record and a good season im 2013. Talk about insane expectations.

this had nothing to do with wins, losses, or recruiting.

the HC and AD never got along and the AD won the power struggle.

simple as that.

Grambling redux. Another d*** measuring contest between the AD and HC ala Doug Williams. Let's see if it works as well for JSU as it did for GSU.
