Wasn't his system billed as an equalizer?
So, he's like our Plan B then?ponyboy wrote:Yes. June Jones kills babies.
Yeah? So why hasn't a P5 conference team ever hired JJ?ponyboy wrote:It's not JJ's system that's being exposed. It's the enormous talent gap between the P5 and the rest. See what's happened to TCU as evidence.
Um, He's been back in college for over 15 years. What are you talking about?ponyboy wrote:Probably because he was busy being an NFL coach at the time.
I think Coach Jones was at Hawaii.ponyboy wrote:Probably because he was busy being an NFL coach at the time.

Poor blocking and tackling are signs of poor development.
I was asked why JJ was never offered a head coach position at a P5 school and I was simply pointing out that he's already been a head coach at a higher level than any P5 school.blackoutpony wrote:Um, He's been back in college for over 15 years.

So you were willing to suffer through 20 years of crap, perennial rankings in the bottom 10, and only an aspiration to be mediocre, and now you're jumping ship? You'd be willing to stop supporting our program because June Jones has pissed you off/hasn't recruited the way you see fit/doesn't coach the way you like? By that logic you'd prefer the past 20 years of being god awful over our worst season in half a decade being 5-7. Pretty logical.ponyinNC wrote:what i can do personally is find another team to root for - a team that actually values having a winning football program.RepublicanPNY wrote:This doesn't surprise me.

i can express my displeasure by not taking a trip to Dallas for a game, which I usually do. i can just let it go and i will probably be a much happier person.
Maybe he was expecting more than 6-6 last year and 5-6 this year during regular season with the reduced restraints on JJ that no other coach in over 20 has had.Mountain Mustang wrote:So you were willing to suffer through 20 years of crap, perennial rankings in the bottom 10, and only an aspiration to be mediocre, and now you're jumping ship?

"His", I.e. Mouse Davis' system wad en equalizer when defenses were set up to stop the wishbowe and power running games. Today everyone is set up to stop tons of fast receivers. Today the equalizer is the option game like Navy.leopold wrote:sbsmith wrote:ponyboy wrote:It's not JJ's system that's being exposed. It's the enormous talent gap between the P5 and the rest.
