Id rather read his posts about striving for better than yours which only criticizes his.

My question to you is this. How long do we give JJ to reach the NCAA tournament? After how many years missing the tournament is it acceptable to fire him and move in a new direction IN YOUR EYES? I want to know.

And BTW I doubt hes going anywhere being that he wants our program to return to better days. The more and more I read his posts, the more I agree about mediocrity and some of our fans getting hyped up about beating no-bodies.

I don't respond to him at all and I believe that is the only time I've posted about him in the past year or 2. I try to ignore when you guys quote him as well. I block the posters that I don't believe are worth my time to read. Saves time for actual ODU news and discussion.

My judgement on whether Jones should stay or not is far more in depth than "has he gotten to tournament or not." At some point though, I agree that will be all that matters. When will I get to that point? I don't know yet.

I used to read his posts 10 years or however long ago it was. Nothing has changed except whatever argument is used to want the coach fired. Back in Blaines heyday, the argument was Blaine should be fired because he hasn't won enough tournament games and his style is boring. Certain posters will want the head coach fired no matter who the coach is. It's just a personality trait.

There are posters are extremely knowledgable that want Jones fired. They support their point of view with reason. Thats ok.
