re: All these fire Jones posts

The Oklahoma game doesn't even look like the same school as this year. Simmons, Quarterman, Hornsby, Victor, Gray all gone... you can't blame all that on the coach. Alleva is at fault for saying publicly that the team had nothing left to play for last year. He said something similar to that during football by constantly repeating "we compete for championships" i.e. if we can't win it all we should just quit. Skip Bertman and Joe Dean never commented to the media about a team's record/post-season chances during the season. The fixation on winning championships with nothing else being acceptable almost guarantees a season like this. This was not a championship caliber team to begin with.
