Latest from ASU rivals: JJ

[NickSMU17]

Ill buy SMU...

[MustangStealth]

Not happy about this. Really [deleted] move if the announcement is made on Big East day. Lose a lot of respect for the guy.

So much for seeing this thing through.

Haven't you learned? It's all about him.

[Diamond M]

How can all this be going on and ESPN not be all over the breaking news? I haven't seen one story on TV.

ASU fan response on Rivals board is 100% against hiring JJ. I am talking mutiny here. There is already a fire JJ thread!!

Well...we are bout to head back downhill

JJ didn't do anything that any of the other post-DP coaches wouldn't be capable of under an identical recruiting/admissions model. 7 wins twice in C-USA is nothing to be overly depressed about when it heads out the door.

Well I guess JJ can say if he leaves that he left under his own terms.

Clearly, though, we are headed in right direction under JJ. The recruiting has been gettin better each year. So we can be bummed about losing that.

NO MORE RUN AND SHOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Gonna need a TE)

I just hope we get a fiery head coach this time, one that doesn't let his team slide half-way through the season. I hope we can make another splash hire, because it may be the only way to keep some recruits. Ugh the next few years are going to get ugly..

[couch 'em]

Steve O and RGT....

Time to make the donuts...

Time to glaze some donuts?

Well they did go back to the station house

[smusic 00]

I imagine we will be trying to make as big a splash as possible. Just like last time. Plus we got new tv money headed our way

It's going to be funny watching him crash and burn in the desert, of course we'll be crashing and burning simultaneously with the new guy so it won't be that funny.

Jones helped accelerate some things about our program and helped us get the exposure that led to this BE deal. For that I am grateful. As far as going forward, there may be some transition impact but we were going to take a ding in our W/L record next season anyway and that may be part of why he split.

Unless KP returns and is healthy we have only QBs with no D I experience, have to rebuild the OL and replace top receiver. Lose two DL one that will be a high draft pick and two all-conference DBs.

I have more confidence in our D next year being OK than the O.

[Comet]

Oh man, I long for the days where we don't have our QB constantly running back and forth to the side lines.

From an actual asu fan on rivals:


Does Klemm even come with him or could he step in as HC at SMU? This is already as bad as it gets, but with NO Klemm this is beyond unthinkable!
