Did I say we should fire Jans? Or even mention his name.
Some of y'all need to stop overinflating our status as a program. We've made it out of the first weekend THREE TIMES EVER. THREE. And one of those was when the field was only 25 teams. Oklahoma, who I don't think anyone would consider a basketball power, has done the same thing 11 times (5 times in the last 24 years). We've only made the tournament 12 times(since the field expanded past 25 teams), 13 after this year. So Chris Jans, who's been here for 3 years will account for almost 25% of our tournament appearances in school history.

So yes, we should set a goal to make the tournament. We're not some blue blood that should be expecting the S16 every year. If you get there, awesome. But don't crap on making the tournament because you overinflate a bunch of meaningless division championships in the mid 00s.

Also just for reference since some think we're a "basketball power". We have 6 SEC Regular season championships since 1960. LSU has 8. I don't think anyone thinks LSU is a basketball power.
