We'll, its official. The 26 fans have decided that Jimmy should be fired. 26 out of 400 on this board, that's not even a 1% minority. So in your "glass is overflowing" world, extant after a good win last night, you are extrapolating the statistics you presented as having 374 votes of confidence from this board (I wonder what the number of active posters is - i.e., how many of the 400 post at all?) MP another purist that resists change when needed. Lives in the past. Can't see the forest through the trees.

One W against a team that couldn't throw the ball in the ocean in the second half, a coach who should not have had Brett in the game with 4 fouls and the lead and not to mention that we also tried to give the game away at the end. Yeah we got a much needed win but there's a ton of work to do to get this team up to speed. At least one poster is all giddy. I also might add that (at the UVM game) for the first time in a long time that I heard boo's, fans calling out the coach and watched people walk out of a game with six minutes left. Not exactly a vote of confidence. So I look at this board as kind of a barometer of sorts.....so it's more than a handful of posters! And still people keep showing up for the games. Reported 6,400 there last night. (Yeah, I know, there weren't that many there. But don't say there wasn't a good crowd last night.) No need to jump on IS because he chooses to remain supportive and optimistic. Pretty sure he's entitled to opinion, even if it doesn't happen to agree with yours. Of course there are issues that have to be addressed going forward. But the team got a much-needed win last night. Let's enjoy it for ten minutes, and not minimize it.

Ok crowd last night but you can't deny season tix holders over the past couple of years are starting not to show in ever increasing numbers. Walk up crowds are slim. You can't deny fans walking out the door is embarrassing. Sure you have a percentage of front runners not showing but you also have a decent group of dedicated loyal fans becoming more apathetic with each passing game. This I s a message board where people express opinions agreeable or not.....It's kind of a forums purpose. BTW ... Who started the ball rolling on the preceding topic with his snarky comment?

The biggest issue this year is the road games. Got to find a way to win one, then see if they can build on it.

No, I just don't think 40 fans voting in total is high enough to extrapolate accurately. I'm not a glass half full this season. I'm frustrated and disappointed too. I just refuse to stop rooting for my favorite team (not you personally but others stated they've given up in some form either by not coming or not go Nv to renew). That's ok, it's there choice. I just choose to still positively cheer my favorite team on.

MP another purist that resists change when needed. Lives in the past. Can't see the forest through the trees. I don't resist change. If the admin fired the HC that's their job. I just don't partake in wanting a coach fired. I didn't do it for three prior Siena HCs so why would I start now? I'll cheer for any new HC the same as I've cheered for the past 8 coaches.

Yes, I started it. I've spoken with many fans (who still attend the games) and most don't seem to care for the negativity. Yes, we all can agree there's issues that need addressing but the people I've spoken with understand the same concerns being talked about except for the constant negative harping. We all get it that 12-15 very vocal posters are unhappy to the point of wanting change. We'll just continue to root for our team on, regardless of the outcome.

Just shake my head at an attitude of non competitiveness and not wanting to win. So everybody gets a trophy attitude. That's not life, some win, some loose, some are competitive others are lemmings followers. Remember in the real world the meek shall inherit nothing.

What do you mean "....an attitude of non competitiveness and not wanting to win"? What are you talking about?

I was about to respond too. I'm not sure what Dave's trying to say either. I know of not one Siena fan that wantsthe team to lose (not win).
My point earlier, that I don't think Dave got was; I'm going to continue and root/support my favorite team in spite of the frustrating season.

When you have 5,000 show up when the program used to fill 9k (and averages 7k) and the game showcases the top p rogram with second place still up for grabs, your program is under .500 after four seasons (this year and in total) your team allows a player another career high of 40 points and the game is a blowout something is wrong, don't you think?

No gorvy, some here think no one should take responsibility for the job they do. The school can do no wrong, the trustees, admin AD coach are all great. Everyone deserves a trophy. Great fans just don't know if they received their education at the same school as many of us.

I'll bump this thread up so we can talk about JP getting fired in multiple threads. While your efforts are possibly helpful for some, I think the criticism of our "head coach" pops up quite naturally on its own and folks don't need help, but thank you! 😎
