All I got to say is Coach Collins doin something right, and his team has bought into what he is selling...besides Collins is one good dude! GO BRAVES!

BYE...don't let the door hit you...!! This place is so full of lies!

This whole thing is just a bunch of BS! Get rid of the AD. They going to have to have some proof that Jones has done wrong...I just don't see that happening.
However I have heard on good reliable source, Fred McNair will be the new HC at Alcorn.
I sure hope they do something QUICK...players need to get in conditioning, and the S&C coach is gone now, they got some small GA dude doing it..what a JOKE!

You have GOT to be kidding me!
HAMILTON NEEDS TO GO!!!!
Alcorn, do you REALIZE what that dude is doing to your school, reputation, programs????
I hope Jones and company win this lawsuit, and HAmilton gets FIRED!
He has absolutely NO IDEA wth he is doing!
I can confirm this though: The football players have suffered enough!!
Alcorn, how in the hell do you think any parent is going to want their kid to come to ASU to play football when the AD is wacked?! I would pull my kid out and send them elsewhere if that AD is going to stay there. Sorry for the coaches, but one thing I am impressed with is Jones is still out there talking to recruits and parents!
One more thing-PRAYERS NEEDED for one of the asst. coaches who underwent a major/serious surgical procedure a few weeks ago and is still in hospital. He is doing good, but lets pray for his recovery and God speed!

I posted this on another story here, but the fact remains..most of the rumors is just that-RUMORS. For the record, anything that is in public is fair game for somments, good, bad and ugly!
I hope when all is said and done, regardless of the outcome, Jones and asst's are long gone from this mess. They were within their right to sue, I guess no matter what..not everyone can run a business, right AD Hamilton?
How bout you need to get your STORIES straight! Every story that has come out about this with reference to the AD, is lies, inconsistent, and BS. If you gonna lie, at least keep up with what you sayin!
**posted on another story in here:
Lawsuits are out of hand, but in this instance, I concur with Jones and the lawsuit.
You all just don't know, but somethin stinkin up at the reservation and it ain't Jones. AD needs to go.
This has NOTHING to do with how Jones coached. Not anything to do with the coach and asst's. stealing money or any other far fetched, reaching out for rumors.
In fact when Jones got there, he cleaned house a bit, some players were let go, and he and staff laid down expectations of what is expected of the football players. He was excited and brought his enthusiasm to the players. He gave them hope and something to look forward to, gave them enough push to work harder.
IN FACT, even the returning players said they had NEVER had conditioning and work outs as hard as Jones had them going! He let them know what he expected, those who wanted to believe in his "process" stayed and worked their asses off, those that didn't, quit/were let go.
This was ONLY the first yr for these coaches at this school, so naturally they should have been given TIME to get the program together.
Moreover, these coaches have families and need to feed their families.
The asst's. are on contract until 31 Dec! AD giving them notice that they were fired was wrong, and going behind the HC back was wrong.
And I hope the rumors about the McNairs having anything to do with this, is just that -rumors. What did Fred McNair coach, high school football? A player in the league does NOT = a good coach. In fact VERY FEW players in the league could truly be considered a GOOD COACH. the players from the league would have to have been STUDIOUS of the game, for example-Peyton Manning, someone who STUDIES the game of football. ( Not a Peyton fan, just making a point).
I'm tellin you, alums, boosters, you all need to get some straight answers, and get yourselves HEARD!
Oh and for the rumor bout Jones throwing his stuff on the field in the snow...BS. There was no snow on the ground over there AT ALL!
What an embarassment to the University and the football program!
You all done really set yourselves back now! Good Job AD, and whoever else is on his nutz!

Well, there still isn't job security, they were "reinstated" and their contracts were not renewed. Their contracts end on 31 Dec, so then what? They gonna fire them all over again? Get some people in there that know how to run a business not to mention a football program!
Posted on December 10 at 8:01 a.m.
Can we say SHADY?!
I am sick of the lies that come out of that place!
First the AD claims he knew nothing about the asst's. being fired then he keeps changing his story.
To the HEADS OF ALCORN-
Get a CLUE! You are setting back the football program so many yrs! Not to mention enrollment. Sounds to me like there are quite a few too many "ole school" people up in there that don't exactly know what they are doing.
Not only is this pathetic enough for your REPUTATION, but what about the football players and their futures? I wonder how many players will be trying to jump ship because of your ineptitude.
YOU ARE KILLING RECRUITING!
Get it together for the sake of the University, the football program and the alumni
