Jones #7 on Coaches Hot Seat

[Dooby]

Notice norm chow in top 10. June would love to get fired and get his Hawaii job back. About the only school that would take him.

[redpony]

they sure couldn't pay him 2 mil+ / yr. but good riddance. bye bye jj.

[TidePony]

He won't have to pack socks...

If SMU gets rid of June Jones...don't expect us to win any more...we need him and if we would have listened to his recommendations and recruited the kids he wanted to bring in...we might have gotten things changed around already and not be in a 7-7 rut

Thought we made those corrections? I'm humbly asking that question.

OK...another off the wall tidbit...where did this one come from? Exactly who were all these kids JJ want to recruit and couldn't...inquiring minds want to know.

Hey June or son of June, can you please leave SMU without costing us any money. We thank you for the mediocre bowls and that you got our players to coveted Hawaii bowl TWICE so they can enjoy the nice breezes of mediocrity as the embrace their future as workers in the corporate world with their smu education and not the NFL (except for the few that you didn't recruit). Anyways aloha, and please send us a postcard to all of us when you finally retire in Hawaii! Thanks!

Are you really that ungrateful? That's sad. June has given SMU a lot of fantastic memories, and an expectation far higher than what we had before. We all want more, but regardless of where we want to be we are closer to it than we were and June Jones is responsible for that. Why can't we just look forward to the next game and the future of SMU football rather than denigrating what's been achieved because we aren't getting everything we want?

32-38, in case you haven't noticed we're not actually winning.

Ron Meyer's record was worse through the same number of years. Just to give you some perspective. Sure, I know the competition was tougher. But he had the advantage of offering envelopes full of cash in his recruiting efforts.

Fair enough but my point was to show that June has not been winning here so it's pretty damn laughable to assume the program needs him and will fall apart without him (it's already falling apart with him).

I'm only being fair here. I notice many people are mad at June Jones for not giving us a 12-0 season yet...but I invite y'all to look at this:

SMU Record since 2002

Phil Bennett
2002 (WAC) 3-9
2003 (WAC) 0-12
2004 (WAC) 3-8
2005 (CUSA) 5-6
2006 (CUSA) 6-6
2007 (CUSA) 1-11
June Jones
2008 (CUSA) 1-11
2009 (CUSA) 8-5
2010 (CUSA) 7-7
2011 (CUSA) 8-5
2012 (CUSA) 7-6

TCU had their rennaisance during the Pat Sullivan Era. Look at what they did and how they turned their program around. It was all about changing the image of their program from losing into a winning program, new logo, new uniforms, new school spirit songs, chants, traditions etc. NEW EVERYTHING. And that's when TCU rocketed past SMU, and SMU is still dreaming of the 80's....
