SMU students start Twitter trend: #FireJuneJones

Minutes after the SMU versus UNT football game this Saturday, SMU students flooded social media feeds to talk about SMU Head Football Coach June Jones.

The Mustangs lost 43-6 at Apogee stadium one week after losing to Baylor 45-0.

Students were riled up to the point that the phrase #FireJuneJones trended in Dallas on Twitter.

Angry users continued posting tweets after the game.

“Rumor has it June will be gone sometime this week. Crossing fingers. #FireJuneJones.”

“June Jones is simply collecting a pay check to retire on the island of Hawaii. Save us all the misery and #FireJuneJones.”

“When I die, I want June Jones to lower me into my grave so he can let me down one last time #FireJuneJones.”

Jones has yet to publicly release a statement regarding the SMU versus UNT game. His most recent comment was on last week’s game SMU v Baylor for his team.

“The message is you have got to do your job. We didn’t play well, we didn’t coach well,” Jones said.”We didn’t do a lot of things that you have to do to win and we’ve got to improve everybody.”

Jones has not been active on any social media since the game. His last post was on Sept. 5th on Twitter in which he retweeted a “Happy Birthday to @SMUMustangs legend Jerry LeVias! #PonyUP.”

The head coach currently has 13,000 followers on his Twitter. After this weekend, he should expect to lose a couple thousand. #PonyUp
