Far from true.

I would say JJ can go at least this year an two more without a tournament appearance and not get fired. That would be 1 tournament appearance in, what, 9 years? JJ has been one of the two worst coaches in ODU's D-1 tenure in terms of NCAAT appearances, and there seems to be no concern at all about that. The others similar to him were fired in fewer year than JJ has coached. If that is not a slide toward accepting mediocrity, I don't know what is.

Thats if the only criteria was NCAA Tourney appearances.

It is.
