And as for emailing Hemphill or Wood, is there seriously anyone who thinks that a change is not going to be made, barring a miraculous conference tournament run?

Yes.

Just for clarification, if ODU gets by their 1st game against GA State / TX State, does that qualify as being a miraculous conference tournament run? If not, does winning a 2nd game against Marshall make the grade?

It's partially confusing because in every recent preseason the rhetoric is fairly consistent that either Jeff gets the team into the NCAA tournament, or at a minimum the NIT that season or he needs to be replaced. Then the reset takes place with the same statements the following preseason.

Some have seemed to indicate during the last week that based upon the team having a decent late season run including wins against Southern Miss and Marshall, they are content/willing to hold onto Jeff another year to see what he can do next year with (hopefully) returning players.

Not singling you out here other than that you did seem to indicate having some inside knowledge on the matter.

My question to all of the posters on here is - Is the consensus now that after a good winning streak over the past few weeks that Jeff gets a reset and people don't want him to be replaced barring an ill-defined "miraculous conference tournament run", or an NCAA bid / NIT bid (minimum)?

You were the one that coined the term "miraculous conference tournament run". What did you mean by it? I think Jones should have to win the tournament to even have a chance to stay. Maybe if he wins it that will be the impetus to retire on the plus side. I'm not saying what is going to happen, just what I think should happen. NCAA or bust.

The bold print above is incorrect. The phrase was initially used in post #1129 on page 57.
