sioux24/7 Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 I just want something to break regarding this. Sounds like there’s been rumblings for a week or so. I have a feeling though that it will be all smoke and no fire (pun intended). Quote
UofND-Alum Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 My post was hasty....I was upset. Coach Jones has represented his position has head coach very well. He made the NCAAs and little program improvement came from that success. UND is a great job, yet tough as well with location and finacial committment to program. All this has been expressed in recent posts. If Coach Jones does in fact depart for a change, I would support his decision as he is doing what he thinks is right for his family and his career...and he deserves that respect. Then I would trust our administration to make a hire that is fitting for future success. Quote

Losing Jones would be tough on our program. He is a great recruiter and the players relate to him. He took UND to the next level and deserves to take the step to the next level. We would miss him but would also wish him well. I'm not following, at all. Sorry, but I grew up in the Gunther and Glas eras, where .467 basketball over 13 years doesn't cut it. We need to expect more, demand more. Can the guy recruit? Guards, yes. Has any coach in the five state area done less with more with said recruits? Arguably no. If the gig is $95K a year, does it really make any difference? 6 Quote

Popular Post FightingSiouxHawks Posted May 1, 2019 Popular Post Posted May 1, 2019 Been a Sioux supporter for years and recently turned onto the chat room for Sioux sports! Attended games of all sports, but loved the days when the Old Hyslop Sports Center was packed watching Jerome Beasley tearing it up! Have heard the rumors for the past week about Coach Jones, if the rumors are true, he lead UND through the transition. Whether you cheer for him or not, we all wish him the best of luck. 5 Quote

Come on you guys - it was meant to be "tongue in cheek" if you want a coach to move on you build him up and gnash your teeth in public - there goes the secret. 2 Quote
gfhockey Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 Have heard rumors about possible disagreements in fund. Jones wants more $$$ not for him but for program however no $$$ is there. Quote

UND1983 Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 I just hope he leaves. This is so tiring talking about him. Its been 13 years, I just want somebody else, somebody else who can bitch about their low salary and low budget. Quote

Regardless of whether he stays or goes, he is correct in the fact the BBall program needs more funding. Doesn’t matter who we hire if we don’t try to increase the funding for the program. 4 Quote

Not a defense of Jones, but if fans are going to complain about the state of the program, then the coach has a fair point. Quote

UofND-Alum Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 Time to think of the next person to lead the program. Quote
tnt Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 Are we putting the cart before the horse, just like we did with Kennedy. So we in essence have two lame duck leaders? Quote

BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 If Jones gets a Hawk or two on the hardwood somewhere around mid court, and gets considerable pay raises for his assistants, I'm calling this a very successful off season? Quote
