He misses the tourney with one star player and sudden its time to move on


He underachieved last year with 2 NBA players, Quarterman and Hornsby (1st round exit, barely made tournament)

And he underachieved again this year with a #1 overall pick, Blakeney, Quarterman, Hornsby & Victor. Missing the tournament.

To me that's grounds for firing. Next year is going to be a shite show, especially if for whatever reason Quarterman and/or Blakeney leave.

1st round exit aside being an 8 or 9 seed is not barely making the tournament. Let's also remember that they were a wide open Mickey layup away from possibly going to the Sweet 16.

The program is in much better shape than when he took over and this is the first year where the team did not improve over the previous season.

I am not defending Jones. I think he is an above average recruiter and average at best bench coach. I am stating facts and the reasons they will give him one more year.

I'm not saying CJJ didn't underachieve, however w/ only one player making the all sec 1st or 2nd team, Blakeney, Quarterman, Hornsby and Victor were not as advertised.
