Got fired at Bowling Green for slapping women that he didn't know on the ass at a bar.Wasn't Chris Jans a candidate for the Iowa State job at some point? The name sounds familiar.
Seems like he’d be a perfect fit at LouisvilleGot 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.
Evansville should be on the phone with Bruce Weber yesterday.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.
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.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.
Is he taking a plane that's taking off from a treadmill?Hickory Park
Believe that is now 6 SEC jobs that are changing.
That would be a solid hire.Just saw this

Mike Boynton Emerges as Candidate for South Carolina: Report
South Carolina is on the prowl for a head basketball coach after firing Frank Martin after 10 seasons. Martin was on the hot seat for the past two seasons after missing the NCAA tournament every year since his team’s magical run in 2017 when the seven-seeded Gamecocks made it to the Final Four...www.heartlandcollegesports.com
"“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.”"
And give Doug Gottlieb another chance to embarrass himself, win/win!Mike Boynton leaving the conference would likely be a net positive for Iowa State.
He is a great recruiter and good in-game coach
I'd much rather see OU gutted but I'll take it.And give Doug Gottlieb another chance to embarrass himself, win/win!
I have to imagine Boynton leaving would absolutely gut that program
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.
Yeah, the tournament committee made it pretty clear that having some horrible teams at the bottom of your conference really doesn't matter.A nebraska and northwestern in the Big 12 would be nice
Weber is a decent coach but he is already 65. You know he will have a limited shelf life if he goes anywhere.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.
