ODU doesn't want coaches who don't want to be here.

Keatts and Wade showed how loyal they were and now those programs they lead are back to mediocrity.

I'd rather have a program that's consistent enough to have a shot at the tournament every year than one that doesn't because it has to recover from losing it's coach and players he takes with him.


Oh by the way, Jeff Jones is not being fired nor is his job in danger.

I agree with your conclusion. But I’m sure you must feel the same frustration after coming up short again. At what point do we make a change? I don’t believe in “all/dance or nothing,” but I expect him to prove he belongs next year. Next year will be telling re: his coaching/recruiting ability.

When you find yourself in a hole they say you should stop digging. But apparently you feel that we should continue digging for another year.

No, that is certainly not what I’m saying. Do you really think it makes sense to terminate Jones and destabilize the program for a year? Who would be willing to take over a mid-major program for $300-500K per year that terminates a coach under our circumstances. Please let us know how you think that would play out. This is the real world of a mid-major program. We are not a P5.

So next year we win 20+ games beating all the weak sisters and losing to the stronger teams. What then? Dig for another year? Or wait till he goes 10-20? Oh wait. We hired him after he did that. At American. In the Patriot League.

Maybe someone will steal our shovel. Hopefully!

The big time movers in the financial markets are referred to as big swinging *****. Until a big swinging “donor” wants a change, then you can bet JJ will be back next year (given the circumstances). If you own season tickets and donate - the biggest statement you can make to affect change will be to stop both. And it will be recognized at some level. But if you’re not doing either, then the reality is ODU doesn’t truly care about your opinion. It’s that simple.
