Maybe we should give SMU a break. I didn't realize their coach (June Jones) left after the second game. According to the commentator, the City of Dallas feels the former coach quit on the team.
What do you think that does to a teams spirit or culture. I give them a pass........they show talent against ECU, is it possible the team gave up on itself.
As bad as UConn looks right now, how do you think it will perform if any coach (Pick a name) quit on them. Oh wait, one coach did quit on the team and took a "dream job". And everyone has suffered since.
Coaches quitting send a bad signal to student athletes, Demoralizing. Only I think quitting two games into the season is worse than taking a detour after the season. Did June Jones ever say "good bye?"
The list of possible replacements should boost the kids self image, whether realistic or not. However, all candidate were from "Big Time programs".
I don't think they stink.......rather they are under performing because of moral issues....not talent. Even the commentators suggested they are in a talent rich area and a young aggressive coach will put them back on track.
June Jones = PP. Both looked like shriveled, frayed dishrags. Players on both squads probably considered them physical and mental mummies.
I'm not throwing stones at SMU.......UConn has walked in their shoes,
I wouldn't chalk the December game as a victory........especially if SMU student athletes begin to believe in themselves. Heck, a forth string QB did quite good for himself againsy ECU.
