sioux24/7 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Wow Jones interview after the game was bad. Basically said his one is on the players and they need to look at themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND Fan Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I didn't hear the interview but it certainly appeared on TV that Jones, in shaking hands with Jake, kept walking with no eye contact. It looked to me like Jake wanted to have a brief conversation. Very classless on Jones' part! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darell1976 Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 This thread is going on 2 years and it's the same crap by Jones. Faison better do something and quick or else we have another major program that will need to be rebuilt from the ground up and we saw how football hasn't fully recovered with the attendance and fan base. People get canned early in the year in other sports why not let the assistant coaches try something new with the young guys maybe they know something that Jones isn't doing.

Siouxperdouper Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 If anyone should be fired it would be Fiason. He's terrible for ND. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND-FB-FAN Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 After awhile, you just have to ask yourself "Is Jones the best UND can do in terms of leadership for men's basketball?" Of course, the answer is no. Hopefully this has been dragged on due to financial/contract limitations and nothing more, because Brian Jones is not a good leader of men or a proper representative of UND athletics. Period. Obviously, the season must play itself out still, but my opinion of Jones has been the same for a few years now; he doesn't have the qualities. Time to move on, Mr. Faison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bincitysioux Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 So we are all aware obviously that UNI is an excellent program, in fact this year's team is likely the best basketball team that's ever been in the Sioux Center. Even knowing that, seriously a 46 point loss on our home floor? The game was basically over by the 2nd media timeout. Even while acknowledging how good UNI is, this has to rank right up there as one of the most embarrassing losses of the Jones era. Ranks right up there with the time he lost to Mayville on our home floor IMO. I know he has quite few embarrassing losses under his belt over his decade of coaching here, so feel free to add to the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geaux_sioux Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Can his ass. I'd like to be able to cheer for the basketball team again. It's to the point where I'm hoping that they lose bad enough for Jones to be fired. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nd1sufan Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 give jones a raise and extension ..lucky to have him... I agree. Jones coaches the team to a National Championship every year, its just his players that ruin his great coaching. Just ask him. I would personally love to see him get an extension, but he should be fired before the end of the season. Don't give him any reason to keep him, like maybe finishing around .500 in a league you should be doing better in. His interview after the game should at least give Faison a reason to talk to him. You can't blame everything on your players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of very good D2 coaches in the area looking for an opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has D1 experience at Iowa. I personally hope you don't get him, but he would be turn your current talent into a top 2 BSC team immediately.

UND-1 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 "That was an embarrassing performance, not only for themselves (his players), for their families, for this program, ummm because they are better than that". Nothing said about himself at all. Completely throws his players under the bus while taking zero blame himself, just saying "the program" all the time. The only thing embarrassing has been the multiple blow-out losses that we are all supposed to poo-poo away every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niouxsiouxfan Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I have been advocating for Jones to retain his job and wait to see what he does with all the young talent he had coming in. After watching the game and seeing things that you should never see any head coach do (and hoping to see some adjustments most coaches figure out), then watching the video...I say fire him! I will be contacting Faison Monday AM, I suggest everyone contact as many people they can and ask them to do the same. The most effective example to use for a reason is the drubbing on the court, leading to the interview where he takes no blame. THAT IS NOT A LEADER OF YOUNG MEN!

Risky Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I think we have a very young team with some hope for the future but I am not sure Jones is going be around to see that future. As far as that goes I think our women's team has concerns for this year and for the future too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bincitysioux Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Pretty nice crowd at the game yesterday. The team's performance should help keep fans away in the future though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I just looked at Jones' assistants: very young. That echos to me of when Mussman protected himself by having two young, inexperienced coordinators (neither ready for an "interim" tag). I won't be fooled by that again, nor should Brian Faison. I say put the "interim" title on Shawn Dirden and start doing due diligence. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
