UND-FB-FAN Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I won't come out and say Brian jones should be fired. But if his employment isn't being critically evaluated this season, faison should be shown the door. This is all correct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listen to Christopher Gabriel on WDAY and the Jack Michael's show in The Fan in Fargo and the past couple of years, he has been a regular on both shows, going on at least once or twice a month. I don't think I have heard him on either since early fall, probably since right after the UND/NDSU football resumption was announced.

UND-FB-FAN Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Faison needs to step down, Kelley needs to revisit his focus on collegiate athletics and the tradition of excellence UND athletics is supposed to possess, and then a new, energetic AD needs to be hired. Just thinking aloud my Christmas wish list... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He goes on when the radio stations call him and ask to join their program. Not that hard to figure out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sioux24/7 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I think most probably realize that Jones isn't going anywhere, at least not this year. But with that being said, who are some possible realistic candidates out there that could replace him in the future? Obviously we are not going to get Shaka Smart but I would try to get someone similar to him or from his coaching tree, someone that coaches an attacking defense.

geaux_sioux Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I'd say an Adidas deal is worth more than Jones. Can him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoopster Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Pitino is 0 and 4 in Big Ten with 4 starters back from NIT champs at MN. If Jones needs to be canned than Pitino really needs to be canned...maybe UND can replace Jones with Pitino. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine years later here we are.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxphan27 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 My apologies if it's posted somewhere else, but what's the details on this Adidas deal and the MBB team? They're against it, and why? Thanks for any info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bigger issue at Williams Arena is why the Gophers are wearing black and yellow alternate jerseys that make them look like the Iowa Hawkeyes!

That is true. Also, how did UND lose by 30 to that garbage he is trotting out there this year. That loss looks worse every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the green team Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 It would have been helpful to have Shanks available for that game, not that it would have changed the result completely. But it may have reduce the margin somewhat. It may have helped against Mo Walker. We didn't have a player that could slow him up inside on that night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtVandalay Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 That is true. Also, how did UND lose by 30 to that garbage he is trotting out there this year. That loss looks worse every day. Hmmmm. Not so sure a team that took Ohio State to OT and kept Louisville close would classify as garbage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redneksioux Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Why can jones now? He's not failed much worse than he has in the past 7 years. It appears faison has his bar set fairly low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
