June Jones is not perfect, but, SMU would NOT be going to a BCS conference without him.

Coach Jones then led Hawaii in his 1st season to a share of the Western Athletic Conference football championship, which is one of the biggest turnarounds in NCAA football history. Coach Jones went on to become the winningest head coach in Hawaii football history including 6 bowls, first place in the WAC twice & 2nd two other times. Now he has brought our beloved SMU Mustangs back from the dead in another one of the biggest turnarounds in NCAA football history with 3 straight bowl games and an invite to the Big East Conference and all you seem to want to do is criticize the guy and point out the negatives?

And all you seem to do is just stick your face in front of the guy's bottom and kiss his [deleted], Bob.

Perhaps, but I'm just tired of the guys who come on here and act like his [deleted] doesn't stink. Yes, he's made considerable strides but he also put those strides in serious jeopardy with his recent actions and the perceived indifference he seems to display.

I agree June isn't perfect (but who is?), with that said I think June Jones is the
best thing to happen to the Smu football program in the last quarter century.

There's no question that he's improved the program. I think he deserves credit for that but I'm just tired of the "can do no wrong" attitude that people seem to have about him when he just seems so indifferent about SMU, at least in my eyes.

And some are tired of guys who come on here and rarely have anything good to say about our 3 straight bowl game team. If you look at the thread at the top by PONYPRIDE entitled "Hard To Believe" it clearly states "The sole purpose of this site is to support SMU, its athletic department, its coaches and teams". Support it coaches! And yes thats what some of us are trying to do. What a suprise on an SMU Fan board to be supportive of the team's coach that has turned this program around after 25 years of sheer misery. Look at the negativity shown below from just one single thread! Is that "supporting"?

PerunaAteMyRolex, watch the video below of highly touted new SMU Assistant Coach Jason Phillips. It's easy to see why Coach Phillips wanted to be a part of the Smu football program and that reason is June Jones.

Varsity Shop is not Bob. If you want to know who it is go back and read his early posts.

I have always thought there were many on board doing this. No big deal, I just do not like Bob Sharp getting the brunt of the response if he did not post. Bob does post on here but under a different name that he can reveal if he ever so desires.

Just because you do not like what you read, does not mean that it's wrong. Note that I never said anything about the team itself. Just because I don't agree with the coach's approach doesn't make it wrong. I support the team. My wife and I(both SMU alums) buy tickets and come to all games and travel when we can. I'm sorry that, by your logic, that my bashing of Jones is, by default, bashing of the team. You need to separate the two. The team, I will always support and they will be here long after June has decided to take his next coaching gig or retires. I've been a fan since before my college days and ever since. Trust me, I 've seen the misery. I am glad to see the team is doing better but you obviously seem beholden to your man Jones as though he's bulletproof. If that's the way you feel, so be it.

If it's not Bob, then I apologize to Bob. I'm not above reproach. Like our coach Junses, I'm human. :wink:

But Rolex the converse is true as well....just because you do not like what you read when I respond to the 24/7 bashing of our coach that has turned this team around after 25 years of misery doesn't mean I think the coach can do no wrong.

Peruna_Ate_My_Rolex wrote:Just because I don't agree with the coach's approach doesn't make it wrong.

Correct but just because I respond with a different perspective on our coach doesn’t make me an "azz-kisser" like you imply. I happen to like the job our coach has done. Is he perfect? No. But to me the good has thus far greatly outweighed the bad. Is that a position you can’t deal with that someone can study the situation and just honestly come to a different conclusion?

Peruna_Ate_My_Rolex wrote:I'm sorry that, by your logic, that my bashing of Jones is, by default, bashing of the team. You need to separate the two.

Have you not seen the video of Bryce Tennison?
Did you watch the video of Coach Jason Phillips?
Have you seen the love his players and staff (current & past) have for the man?
Do you think our coaches, players and their families appreciate the constant vitriol for their coach on what is supposedly a SMU fan message board? Do you think it's any accident that players and parents are warned to "not read Pony Fans" because it is so negative?

Peruna_Ate_My_Rolex wrote:The team, I will always support and they will be here long after June has decided to take his next coaching gig or retires. .

Great….but we can just agree to disagree about what "supporting the team" means. I think most of the players love June, and I think by harping on the negatives and bashing June it indirectly hurts the team, the players, and recruiting.
However with that said my support for June is based on results. If June does not produce consistent results and the program appears to not be making long term progress then I will not be as supportive. In my opinion I think there are a lot of positives to concentrate on and so that’s what I do.

Peruna_Ate_My_Rolex wrote:you obviously seem beholden to your man Jones

Well…… aren’t we all?
"Beholden": "Owing thanks or having a duty to someone in return for help or a service"
Don’t we all "owe thanks" to June Jones for his role in one of the most dramatic turn-arounds in NCAA history at SMU and bringing this program back from the dead?
So yeah….I will always be thankful for what he did for this program.

Peruna_Ate_My_Rolex wrote:as though he's bulletproof. If that's the way you feel, so be it.

Ridiculous!
I have not agreed with everything he has done….
but I doubt I would agree 100% with any coach. Would you?
But June does have some "good will" built up with me for what he’s done for us.
Bulletproof?....Ha…that’s not the way I feel at all, but appears it is a way you prefer to characterize and belittle my position of defending the SMU head coach that has turned this program around. "The way I feel" is that I think it is healthy to sometimes offer another perspective about our coach instead of concentrating on just the negatives.

Rolex I am sure one day you'll get your wish and June will be gone and we'll see how it works out.
I certainly hope the next guy keeps up the trend upward. Go Mustangs!
