I just received a response from AD BJ. I trust that if you emailed you will receive a response as well.soon if you haven’t already If you have not emailed him you need to get it done! Let us compare responses: "Thanks for the email, passion and insight. Last Saturday’s performance was extremely disappointing. We have high expectations for all our sports and that is broad based success and to compete for conference championships. As with all of our sports I am constantly evaluating the performance, recruiting, momentum and trajectory." - Brent Jones Just got my response from Brent Jones today. Yep, exact same wording (not that I expect him to pen an individual response to every disgruntled fan). The only thing that strikes me as odd was I sent my email on Sunday and just now got a reply. This makes me wonder how many emails did the AD get that it has taken him this long to complete, not that replying to emails would be his number one priority.

I think Brent Jones and Kyle George have done a great job with fan engagement. I think have certainly tried to do a good job. It's never perfect but it has been good. The current staff, program and effort are light years better than we experienced during the Steve Dennis era. lol. If Steve Dennis is your bar on how you judge AD and their effectiveness, then it’s worst than I thought !

He doesn’t need to start with everything, can start with not destroying donor relations, build relationships and treat folks with respect.

Don’t forget…..Brent Jones work math problem ! He is probably doing the math of calculating his living expenses while working at another University. I'm not putting this on Brent, I blame Jack and his CCP overlords.

Ok letâs recap from Saturday up to today! 1 many of us sent emails to AD BJ and received a response 2 (The HC we don’t speak of) and Luke Meadows appeared clueless on Tuesday 3 (The HC we don’t speak of) is still the head coach 4 this week we play SEC opponent
Synopsis. Albeit the response was generic we are being heard My prediction is that a highly unlikely win this Saturday buys (The HC we don’t speak of) security for the season but a loss will send him packing by next Tuesday and AD BJ will be introducing Will Hall as the interim HC

What scares me the most is what happens next.....Hawkins and the wannabe AD BJ pick the next person to lead this team.

I believe if Hall is interim it will be a little better because there seems to be some cohesiveness on that side. Some plan of coordination. Some changes based on the attack. Is it perfect ....no. Is the output of our team going to be worse with that change? No. So lets just let him know after Saturdays game that his Captain Queeg Strawberry quest is over.

It would be the best thing in the long run if it did happen.

I have to give Brandon Hall credit. After season one where he made Rowell look like Buddy Ryan he has learned and improved to the point where we are the #1 G5 defense in the country and #4 in FBS. Ironically the #1 defense is WVU and former Troy Asst Jordan Lesley

His defenses at EMCC were video game numbers good.

WVU has the same offensive issues we do as they held Oklahoma and the projected #1 pick Spencer Rattler to 16 points and lost

WVU has the same offensive issues we do as they held Oklahoma and the projected #1 pick Spencer Rattler to 16 points and lost Neal's teams at Troy were good offensive teams, but they weren't going to turn heads for being "electric" or "high octane". It seems his offenses are worse at WVU than they were at Troy, and it doesn't seem like he's had any luck finding a QB. The six games Kaleb Barker started before he tore his ACL were starting to look like a true slice em and dice em in any way you want offense. It's a shame he wasn't able to finish out the year. I truly believe it would have been one for the record books.

Kinda like the COVID excuse from last year. Honestly, if the loss to ULM didn't get him fired, he'll be here at least until the Sunday after Georgia State. Though a loss to TX State might do it. But the admin with power seems content to fiddle while we burn, so...

"Money Game" that's a Sister's Restaurant buffet excuse. Spare me.

First, sorry if this is the wrong thread, they all kind of run together at this point for me.
Anyway, regardless of when the firing takes place - the sooner the better - I think Brent Jones left alone to do his job will make a good hire. He found Skylar Meade and I think he made a great impression on all of us. Sure, he hasn't coached a game yet but he has a great attitude and a great resume.
The problem is if Jack Hawkins or some other high-up admin gets their hands on the hiring process, that's how you get buddy hires, penny-pinching hires, and more (The HC we don’t speak of) Lindseys.
