Just dropped to 2-6 with another on run loss ( 4th this season) to Ball St.
All the respect in the world for McGinnis and the unbelievable career she has had here in Jacksonville. And understand the mindset of “ she retires when she want to do so”.
But may need to consider moving on after this season. Many coaches are allowed to hang around too long at Jax St. ( Jim Case and Jack Crowe come to mind).
All great things have to end. May be time for a fresh start.

I may not get the end of it for this but I think we could say the same about both basketball coaches 😂😂

No/ Harper and ladies coach are both in rebuilding years. And Jax St could not hire better coaches for either sport right now.
Softball is now 2-7. Losing to North Alabama is a problem. But no one will say anything to McGinnis. I get it/ but how long do you allow it to continue?

Softball has had one losing season in the past 15 years.

Softball has had one losing season in the past 15 years. #2 is probably taking place right now. |

Softball is now 2-8 after losing to Murray St today.
One thing Jax St needs to learn- you NEVER name a field after a coach until that coach has retired.
See Jim Case. And now Jana McGinnis. Just my opinion.

Just my opinion. With the career she has had, she deserves the naming. Even if she loses every game here on out. |

There could be & probably are, several reasons for the slow SB start, but I can promise you none of them are because the field was named after Jana. The idea of her slacking off & cruising on her many accomplishments simply because the field has her name on it shows you have no concept of her character or personality.

No doubt. |

I am aware of her character and all of her accomplishments. Great lady and ambassador for the school and always has been. I watched her play basketball many years ago at Jax St. Just think the naming of a field or facility after someone needs to take place when they retire. Not sure why this is a “ thing”’at Jax St now. Bill Burgess, Bill Jones and Rudy Abbott all had to wait- and they all won national titles. |

I was under the impression your dislike of active coaches having facilities named for them would likely result in their losing the 'fire in the belly' for winning, recruiting, etc. But if your take is actually that you feel it's not appropriate, on principle, then I have no issues. |

I am philosophically opposed to naming any field or facility for an active head coach. Jim Case did not seem as engaged the last 3 years he was head coach . As far as softball and Jana- they are now 2-9 and have lost 6 games now to equivalent mid majors including North Alabama. Not saying she has slacked off at all but something is amiss. I do wonder if the passing away of her special needs child recently could have affected her focus . Those kind of things can take a ton out of an individual. Jana has had a remarkable 30 plus year career and I have complete respect for her. Maybe things will get better. |

I would agree on naming anything after an active employee. Matter of fact Im more of a pay for a name person.
