June's behavior is eerily similar to a friend of mines behavior at his last job when he decided that he no longer wanted to work there, so he decided to see how long I could receive a check while doing absolutely nothing. Took them months to finally let him go. It got so bad he showed up drunk wearing the same clothes from the day before and still, nothing. June has totally given up!

Your a tool.Did he look like a man that has givin up after the compass bowl.Did that team look like it was coached up.You guys sound like a bunch of old women you harp on the same crap for months and never look at the big picture.big picture is we are worlds better with hin being here than we were when we wasnt.SMU want to grip about the way JJ recruits and the fact some one paid one of our assts more and it cost us lol SMU is griping about this >Think about it

I think we all freely admit we are worlds better than we were before he got here and I think we are grateful for that. However, that does not excuse all the other crap that has been going on. We could be better than we are. Sorry if a lot of us aren't content with mediocrity. There are major concerns within certain aspects of this program. You can choose to ignore them if you like. A lot of us were looking at the big picture when we were talking about ignoring Texas and warning that we were putting all our eggs in one basket with Klemm. Where did that get us?

Im not ignoring any thing i can see that every year since he has gottin here our athletes are better i see that we arent the laughing stock of college football any more and we win more than we lose.What did every one think we would go from 20 years of losing records and garbage athletes to the BCS champioship game every year with in five years.Show me where we have taking a step back show me where he looked like he doesnt care go back and look at our last game.One day SMU fans will be able to feel entilted again but we arent there year and the man who will earn that right for is June Jonmes you old biddies.Change the name of ponyfans.com to the SMU HEN HOUSE

Go back and look at Tulsa and Southern Miss and tell me he cared then or Army last year. I saw the Pitt game and several interviews since operation Screw SMU and what I saw was a rededicated and focused June. What I am seeing now isn't. We are going to take a step back in recruiting this year. You aren't looking at the big picture, you are looking at the past. We are still only 24-28 since he has been here not exactly setting the world on fire. Maybe we should rename ponyfans www.sunshineandbutterflies.com

I don't necessarily want him gone, I want him to hire a staff that is willing to recruit and knows Texas, I want him to continue to have the focus that he did for the Pitt game, I wanted him to not just waive the white flag when it came to our klemm recruits, and I want him not to spend a weekend in Hawaii when he has recruits visiting and could be having a major recruiting weekend or making in home visits. I do not want the man to fail. Nothing would make me happier if he was here for the next ten years and we were winning 9+ games a year.

As far as other coaches go, SMU was contacted by supposedly 2 dozen or so highly qualified replacements. I personally would like to see that list.

Yeah 4 to 5 more years of 8 wins and recruiting classes ranked in the 80s will definitely make SMU a more attractive job.

I am with you goldenstang. I want SMU to be successful and if June is our coach, I want him to be successful also. You cant go very far without the right athletes. It looked like we were on track to take the next step, but now the class is looking less exciting. I know a lot of kids have commented positively on the lay back style of coaching but i think the recruiting needs a greater sense of urgency and we just dont get the impression that exists.

That's pretty specific. The beat-down is documented; how about something constructive. Lecturing the old goats who read this garbage is futile.
