- Jones told 105.3 The Fan he believes the unit can be fixed with adjustments, took blame for recent coordinator turnover, and maintained confidence that Eberflus will steady the group.
- Eberflus acknowledged fan frustration and said the answer must come from within, stressing a “we solution” and indicating that nothing is off the table after recent performances.
