This right here. You'll have to hope for a terrible season next year as well before they fir JJ.

Agreed. JJ could lose the rest of the season and still come back. He’s safe. But he better do a heck of a lot better next year or his seat should be very hot.

I’m not sure that’s true. Between FB and BB, this has been an epically awful year for ODU fans. Wood is in jeopardy of completely losing our fan base. He can’t afford another decline in attendance after the football debacle. I think he has a short leash...at least I hope he does.

JJ won the conference last year and up until this year we were competitive in CUSA, but it has never been fun or entertaining to watch. Ugly basketball isn’t going to cut it these days, especially when you lose.

So true and as for the NCAAT appearance last year. We drove up and witnessed that debacle. If we’re not trending up from there, that is just unacceptable.

This is what it all boils down to. If last year was a step on the way to elevating the program, it would have been reason to keep JJ around and reward him with a raise and extension. As it turns out, last year was a peak, followed by a complete rebuild, and maybe a .500 season. It was just a flash in the pan, as it turns out.
