He don't have to call the perfect timeout at the perfect time. I don't care who he puts in or when he puts them in. Great players make great coaches and good players make good coaches. In his first full recruiting class he did something that Trent J. couldn't do in his 4 or 5? years as coach; get a top ten (#6) class of incoming freshman. A top 10 recruting class buys the man a few years to even be judged at all as a coach. Part of being a head coach is recruiting. He is the man so far in that regard. Ignorant Negatigers, you have no basis for bashing him.

What? You think negatiger need a reason? They hate the winningest coach in LSU football program's history( and he just won the SEC and he recruits TOP 10 CLASSES EVERY YEAR )

He was getting a pass for this year by anyone who actually follows the program. We had no depth coming back and very little size. The cavalry is coming next year, but this year was supposed to be bad.

There is plenty to be questioned about Jones' in game coaching to this point that has nothing to do with the lack of talent on the team. Use of timeouts, defensive philosophy, substitution patterns, etc. he should not be judged until he's had a few years with his own guys, but there are at least a few things to be concerned with at this point.

CJJ will ultimately be judged over time. He'll get enough time to show what he can do here.

I think we've seen the typical fan reactions in the moment one always sees. There was a little bit too much fellating by some early and maybe too much sky falling now.

But it's certainly fair to judge the games played each on their own merit and it ain't pretty in any of the last five games.

Time to give us something besides recruiting to hang our hat on. That's all we have till next year.

Jones must and probably will recruit well. You just cannot play at a high level with two five foot eight guards on the floor. I

So the coach can just mail it in this year? I expect that he will coach differently next year with more talent, but that does beg the question as to what he is doing this year... sandbagging?

It's amazing that there are people who apparently don't know that jones is an average coach according to his career. How many times did he win the sun belt conference in 11 tries? Zero. What makes anyone think he can compete with donovan, stallings, haith, etc?

Did anyone hear Rudy Maclin on the Jordy Hultberg show yesterday. Had extremely high praise for Jarell Martin.

He just doesn't have the talent yet.

But the Terds don't get it...and probably never will.
