Is there any talk about replacing Jones? I know he made the program, but they have struggled in recent years. As for what they showed tonight, I realize they are injury-plagued, but the team seems pretty devoid of talent. Don't get me wrong, I generally am indifferent about the success of their overall sports program, but it is a little more fun during baseball season when they can constitute a quasi-rival for LSU. Just curious about the vibe around the baseball team.

That team is embarrassingly bad. The kid who was 0 for his career was incapable of making a quality swing. It was like watching the poor kid in little league who can't keep his back foot still.

How in the world does that dude get playing time in this game? This wasn't like playing Nicholls, or Centenary. There must be at least 4-5 teams in LA better than Tulane...maybe more.

It is the culmination of a slow reaction to changes. Changes in scholarship rules, transfer rules, and rising cost of tuition. Not excuses. A lot of schools have had to deal with the same issues and are doing well. Tulane is just not thinking creatively like the others to combat the issue.

I have not heard any calls for Jones's head but I'm sure some are thinking it. It'd be tough to get someone credible to take this job at this point...which is sad.

The guy has done a really good job at Tulane. For whatever reason, he is not getting the caliber of players that he once got from the New Orleans area. If I was Jones, I would leave.
