    This kind of ball is going to draw lots of attention. It only takes one REALLY good year for a coach to start to draw offers.
    LOL. OK, just hold on a minute. We go on a 6 or 6 game winning streak and now you worried about losing our coach? C'mon, lets not get waaaay ahead of ourselves here.

      Yep, as of today that's way ahead of the game. If UNI plays consistently at this level or close to it and wins the MVC, Jake will suddenly be on a lot of radar screens.

      It's happened to so many other MVC coaches that you expect it...

      IF we keep ripping the nets and the scoreboard like we have the last 3 weeks.
      Winning is more fun than losing.

        a 20 win season is the only way he gets one close look at all.

          I would think a third straight 18 win season will raise some eyebrows, though I don't know if the demand will be that great to pull him and would hope he could see what the potential is to continue into next year.

              I don't think 3 consecutive 18 win seasons in a mid major conference after you took over a 3 consecutive 20 win seasons program is that impressive, and by impressive I mean a BCS conference school coming to lure him away.

              That being said, if we don't lose but 1-2 games the rest of the year, he will get a look.

                Getting off the best 2 year start as a coach in school history, and could be the best three year start for a coach in school history, could get him looks.

                  That is not that impressive of a stat considering what he took over. That is a big stat at a BCS school where most new coaches come in after a poor coach leaves a program in termoil. For mid majors its different because in that case you have good coaches leaving programs for better jobs.

                  But yes, I understand what you are saying. I obviously said something that heaven forbid took some credit away from Coach Jake so someone must come to his rescue.

                      With what he was left with? I don't have the exact quote in front of me but he was left with Coleman that had a lot of PT, and after that Viet, Brown, and Josten didn't get a lot of PT prior to Jake taking over.

                      Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Jake didn't take over a program that had a ton of talent left after that tourney run.

                        Unless Auburn is looking for a new coach to match their new football coach and then that is one hell of a three year run!!!!

                                If you dont think he inherited much, thats fine, but I would have liked to think you have heard of Brooks McKowen and Grant Stout.
