SMU Can't Lose By Keeping Jones

Postby SC Pony » Sat Dec 07, 2013 7:27 pm

Jone's squad beat four 1A teams this season. Per ESPN:

Memphis 3-9 (112)
Temple 2-10 (92)
UConn 3-9 (108)
USF 2-9 (123)

The numbers in parentheses are their rankings in terms of points scored.

SMU's victories came against teams with 2.5 wins apiece on average (USF still has a game to play). Sadly enough, five of those total wins were recorded against each other.

And JJ thinks that he has leverage.

OK, June fans retort.

Here's your retort from a non hate-lemming. Look to final Sagarin in early January. It will tell you how good this team was this year or any year. All else is just damned lies and statics. Google "confirmation bias."

I don't need any stats, rankings or whatever to see that this is a bad team. If it were not for an all world year by GG we probably win 2 games, maybe 1. We don't recruit and that has finally caught up to us.

Final sagarin is too late to make a decision on a coach, and you know it.

One thing they have in common is that they are all losing teams. And the best team we beat had at the most 3 wins on the entire year.

I've made my decision on the coach. JJ needs to go. I'm just not a hate lemming and appreciate the job he's done here.

I think we all appreciate the job he has done here. He was the right coach in 2008. He's not the right coach for 2014. You and I are on the same page here (I think we are on the same page more often than not)

I think he is a great football coach so I would love for him to clean house on the staff, but unfortunately it will not happen so we probably need to part ways.

What is a "hate lemming"? Is it similar to a "dissatisfaction lemur" or a "frustration hamster"?

When did June become an elite X's and O's guy? I'm honestly curious to see what examples could be provided...
