Good lord man, the point was the old BASKETBALL players fought for Jones, with a lot of the same rationale as used by O backers. Also didn't the players want Mike Archer?

As for his "good" record as USC and LSU its fools gold, he beat the teams he should and was 1-4 vs quality teams

his history will stay with him until it is proven better...

one is only as good as their last performance.

let's see what this year brings ... a great year, much of the past will be forgotten.

I don't know about the USC games but are we really going to give Coach O shite for losing to Alabama last year? We weren't supposed to win that game and we were in it late. Florida game, fine, put that on O. But we beat the tar out of A&M, Arkansas, and Mizzou and the offense looked better than it had in a very long time with Miles. And let's also not forget the bowl win against Louisville. 29-3.

The book is out on O, but his record as interim coach is not fairly defined by his two losses, especially given one was a nail biter to a team we hadnt beaten in 5 previous tries and went to the national championship.

Well sounds like you have given up. What team will you be supporting now?

I understood his point but still, who gives a shite. Also a 15 man roster compared to an 85 man roster. Just no comparison to basketball any kind of way
