Another excuse...graduation? Hakstol, Blais, Gasparini had graduating players and still had UND hockey on top, Gene Roebuck won 3 titles in a row still reloaded. Roger Thomas and Dale Lennon made the DII playoffs year after year after loosing a QB or key players and playing NDSU every year. Jones struggles to win against non conference teams on the road, he has one 20 win season since we were in the NCC. The SL is a lot tougher than the Big Sky ever was. I know money is a big part but money was tight when Muss was let go and Bubba came on. Then with the rebranding of the name and logo they hired Brad Berry and his salary isn’t a low one. I am sure they can find the money somewhere.

Then they win 8 games the next season, 6 of those wins DI, because heaven forbid Jones would put together multiple successful seasons in a row without laying eggs in between.

It’s been done....about 20 years ago.

This was your first post in this thread. Some opinions just don’t change and it’s not for the good.

Because this program under Jones has accomplished so much since Jan 2014. One good season = lifetime contract?

So Berry has one and a half bad seasons and people want him gone, Bubba has 2 bad seasons and people want him gone, Jones has had almost a decade worth of bad seasons and here comes the excuses on why to keep him. I didn’t know that basketball is in line of importance with track and field and golf. 1. Hockey 2. Football 3. Volleyball 4. Women’s basketball 5. Soccer 6. Track 7. Men’s basketball Sound about right?

Very true. I am sure his salary is towards the bottom and how much would Chaves pony up to replace him.

Faison didn't want anything to do with coaching changes until the program was in the hole. Any glimpses of hope and is an automatic extension from Faison. (see Muss and Brewster) Chaves has to see basketball as a major problem with lack of success and needs to be addressed both men's and women's.

There have been some very vocal fans that Jones needs to go, but there are a lot of people that make excuses for him to stay. You don't get 130 pages of a 4 year old thread if everyone agrees he needs to go.

I guess he thought the success of that season would continue, instead he has gone 12-20 last year and just one DI win this year. Not good.

Time to dust off this thread, as it’s a broken record. Last time we had a new men’s coach we were in the NCC. Why has Jones been allowed to last that long. Bubba was being called out just 4 seasons in by fans, Berry is being called out just 3 seasons in, and yet Jones and his mediocrity has been a stain for over a decade, and yet the mood is oh well. No Summit League Title this season, can him.

The chuck the pigskin guy. Could've use more TD passes to help my fantasy team.

There is no appeal. No G5 team will be allowed in the FBS power 5 playoff, unless they allow all FBS conference winners which will never happen. UCF is the deterrent in moving up, first Boise State got all the snubs in the polls, now we see UCF getting snubbed. Do Bison fans think they will be the first to get into the FBS playoffs with Bama, Okalahoma and the big dogs? App State won the Sun Belt and their prize is Middle Tennessee St in the New Orelans Bowl. FCS title or New Orelans Bowl Hmmm.

McCarthy is out in Green Bay

2-1. Need a goal, keep a couple goal lead.

Better not take the foot off the gas for the entire game, do not let the Bulldogs back in it.

2-0!!!

Nice start!! Go Hawks!

Hopefully they can get something going before SL play starts.

So people are quick to say Fire Berry, or Fire Bubba, and yet we have a mediocre coach from our DII days coaching basketball. I don’t see Berry getting fired anytime soom while Chaves has this problem in front of him.

44-6 SDSU 4Q in the snowstorm in Brookings.
