And I don't believe Jones will stand up to the scrutiny. Exactly. UND can now [finally] be directly compared to their regional rivals: NDSU, SDSU, and USD. If Jones can't put up positive results in those annual 6 games, then he should be axed. Of course, I prefer Jones not make it until 2018 unless he gets UND to the dance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that means UND will go dancing this year. Bad math. Jones hasn't been at UND for 19 years, should be 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all, he hasn't won anything yet. Anything less than a trip to The Dance (no, the CIT doesn't count) should not be sufficient to save his job. Second of all, I want him to succeed because I want the program to succeed. If this team gets to The Dance, Jones should get a contract extension.

I feel like its been all valid. Tell me what Jones has done previous to this season? I hope he wins Big Sky coach of the year if it means winning the conference tournament and get this team dancing.

Siouxperfan7 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 If UND wins the either the Regular season or the tournament Championship, there is absolutely no way he doesn't get a contract. Not sure you can justify signing an extendion with the excuse that "well, UND got lucky this year." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND-FB-FAN Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Highly doubtful due to open records law and ongoing budget issues, but Faison should be exploring possible coaching options, such as interest from the MSUM and USD coach. If there is no way a coach that would be considered an upgrade could be hired, then Jones should probably be extended. Of course, if Jones' team absolutely collapses with the remaining regular season games and/or the BSC tournament, then interest exploration post-Jones removal should probably be considered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cratter Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Maybe Jones having his back against the wall is what he needed. But doesn't hurt this is one of his top couple teams talent wise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMSioux Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Also doesn't hurt that they are making free throws, rebounding and shooting lights out when needed vs previous years when we lost multiple games by 2-5 points due to the above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWSiouxMN Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I've never really liked the Muss comparisons, I think Idalski is a more fair comparison TBH. I've seen enough of out both during my time to think that Jones is a way better coach than Muss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had it not been for the budget crunch, he would have been gone after last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
