Is there any chance we lose Jake after this season? There has to be a lot of higher paying jobs that would love to snag him. Let's not turn this into a pi$$ing thread but if I'm a sucky BCS team...he has to be tops on my list.

There's always a chance. I'd hope he wouldn't go to an inferior program just for more money, but what will be will be, no point in worrying about it.

For the most part the only time this comes up is on PN (other than the Depaul job). So let's not talk about. Unless he takes the UNC job after Roy gets canned.

Besides I haven't heard of that many attractive jobs opening up.

Re: i know..i know..i know....but

There won't be many, if any, attractive jobs open this year. Lots of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year BCS coaches out there right now.

Also, I just have this sneaking suspicion that Doug McDermott wouldn't be coming here if Jake was going to take the first train out of town.

But, if that million dollar offer comes along and the program is not a train wreck (i.e. DePaul), you pat Jake on the back, thank him for what he's done, and get ready for the Kyle Green era.

After the Indiana State game of the previous season we were ready to get rid of him ( How do we get rid of Jake ). So it's no big deal if he goes!

Reading back through some of that thread, WOW. Times have changed, eh?

Yeah - some of those posts seem pretty stupid. However, I remember having some of those same thoughts too after that game

"We" nothing... (was about 10 people who should be choking on feathers of the crow they ate last year and again this year).

Saw this on Craigslist this morning that someone posted about Coach Mac:

Funny that is says "No MVC Coaching experience please".

Didn't ISU lose to a Top 25 ranked team from Texas A&M yesterday? Who is their coach and where did he come from?

Re: i know..i know..i know....but

i think he would be foolish to not leave. we cannot pay him anywhere near a comparable amount and we are talking about enough money to set up multiple generations of your family and a cozy early retirement. If he leaves, I would personally would love to see him take the penn state job. a great athletic department, little pressure (comparatively speaking), great facilities, and the chance to really improve a middling program.

Re: i know..i know..i know....but

Why can we just enjoy the ride. This discusion is very premature. Jake and the team are focused on this year period. Lets leave this topic til when this wonderful ride ends. The only rumors of Jake leaving are on this board. He has not been linked to any other job. Go Panthers!!!!

What is Mac's salary going to be when he gets kicked to the curb in Ames? My guess is that he will end up as an assistant, making less than what Jake is now and living no where close to Iowa.

Penn State is not a basketball school, it would be another short sighted move. Why mess with good thing!!!!

I can't imagine the PSU job is opening up. They won the NIT last year, which is probably enough for a lifetime contract in that program.

What a damn joke. These guys are now apparently some of jakes and the teams biggest supporters now. Travelingpanthers post about getting bandwagon fans is perfect
