It is a great, great feeling to have this program back where it belongs, with the potential to go further than we have ever been.
Congrats to Jake and the rest of this staff. -

Pretty sure "unprepared" coaches aren't eligible.

Re: The official Jake for coach of the year thread
I just think it is awesome how many people are around to say "we knew it all along."
I for one will own up to it, I wanted Jake fired immediately after the Indiana State game. Again, good thing I am not the AD huh? That being said, Jake didn't have anything to do with 3 off balanced 27 foot jump shots that went in last night to win the game. That credit goes to the players coming through in the clutch.
He should be Valley Coach of the year though.Illinois State Fan at a St. Louis White Castle 3:45AM Saturday March 6th:

Niether side should have this both ways.Originally posted by jegbomb52 View Post
Its not fair for you to blame Jake for the bad times, and then suggest that the players make plays and that is why we are winning.
At the same time, there are people on this board who were saying "Coaches dont take shots" when the times were tough. Those same people are giving Jake plenty of credit now, and as you said, he isn't taking the shots.
IMO, Jake deserved (and got), his fair share of blame when we were struggling, but he certainly deserves (and is getting) the credit now. He and this staff have done a great, great job.
P.S. I really wish this thread could have been about giving the guy credit, and not about people giving credit to themselves. The guy deserves it.Comment

Re: The official Jake for coach of the year thread
Now the real question...
Will the boosters that are helping to pay Farley step up to the plate to get Jake some more money? With how this year has gone and how good things look for next year there are going to be suitors lining up at the door (especially next year, IMO). We will never be able to pay Lowery/Altman like money, but we should be able to get to Les/McKenna/Simmons/Jankovic territory...Comment

Re: The official Jake for coach of the year thread
I don't think we should spend a dime. Didn't we learn with Mac that even if we buck up we will still lose him if his success continues? The 300-400K that we could raise will still pail (sp) in comparrison if a BCS school comes calling.Illinois State Fan at a St. Louis White Castle 3:45AM Saturday March 6th:

Re: The official Jake for coach of the year thread
Where are you getting 3 27 ft off balanced jump shots from??? I'd check your source...the first one (of the last 3) was an amazing out of bounds play that coach Jake subbed Adam Koch in to run with Ali nailing a great look from the corner, the second was an even better look from Moran in the corner (no where near 27 ft) created by Kwazdo and his penetration and the third was the game winner that Moran hit with a guy in his face from the top of the key!Originally posted by jegbomb52 View Post
Sorry, not trying to nitpick your post but just sayin
What an amazing game! I think I still have goosebumps!Comment
