Wasn't Chris Jans a candidate for the Iowa State job at some point? The name sounds familiar.
Got fired at Bowling Green for slapping women that he didn't know on the ass at a bar.

He can absolutely coach but that's going to be tough to overcome. Was Greggggggg Marshall's top assistant/bag man at Wichita for the Final Four run.

Seems like he’d be a perfect fit at Louisville

I don't think any of the big 12 coaches are really on the table but some other leagues will get poached for the SEC jobs. The domino effect could lead to guys like Bruce Weber or even Steve Prohm getting mid major jobs.

That same effect will happen in the portal when all of these coaches start bouncing around. It's going to get nuts.

Totally random thought...I feel like 6 SEC jobs could mean a lot of kids transferring that Prohm and a staff he would put together may have a connection with.

Evansville should be on the phone with Bruce Weber yesterday.

I'm also pretty surprised the Prohm didn't even get a look at Illinois State, that would have been a really good job for him. They have a history of recruiting Memphis and Nashville pretty hard. Then again, Illinois State hired the worst guy on their list so maybe it's not surprising.

If I were an MVC AD with an opening, Bruce would be my guy at almost any school. You'd guess he would have gotten at look at the Illinois job had he been available.

"“There are three reasons to believe Boynton will be a strong candidate. First and foremost, he played at South Carolina from 2000-04. Second, he has done solid work at Oklahoma State, including last season when he had the nation’s No. 1 recruit, Cade Cunningham, and made the NCAA Tournament. And third, he makes a little over $2 million a year — not chump change, but at the low end of the power-conference market. Oklahoma State is well known for not wanting to pay its basketball coaches too much. That’s why Brad Underwood left for Illinois after just one year. If South Carolina offers a significant increase, it’s hard to imagine Boynton turning that down from his alma mater.”"

That would be a solid hire.

Mike Boynton leaving the conference would likely be a net positive for Iowa State.

He is a great recruiter and good in-game coach
And give Doug Gottlieb another chance to embarrass himself, win/win!

I have to imagine Boynton leaving would absolutely gut that program

I'd much rather see OU gutted but I'll take it.

I certainly am not opposed to KState and OSU taking a step back. Don't need them to be awful but a couple more manageable wins on the schedule would be nice.

Boynton would be a good hire. He is shaky in game as imo but it is hard to tell when he's had to cut his teeth playing 12-15 games against hall of fame type coaches every year. Feels like he never quite got over the hump, even with Cade. He'd be interesting at an sec school where nil money is going to be thrown around. Seems like he'd kill it on the recruiting trail.

Weber is a decent coach but he is already 65. You know he will have a limited shelf life if he goes anywhere.
