Re: Is Jake's Name Being Bandied About?

If Jake leaves, watch out . . . our AD has hired four head coaches since he's been on campus . . . 1 left after 1 year, & the jury is still out on the other 3. Other than Schwab, this would be his 1st big hire.

Agreed with others, this is kind of a silly post. Also, it puts wrestling somewhat on par with men's basketball. Sorry wrestling fans...uh, no.

"I'm not going anywhere," Northern Iowa coach Ben Jacobson said this morning. "I'm excited about what we've got going (at UNI). I like the group of guys we have coming back and the guys we have coming in, so I'm going to be our basketball coach."

I was not worried about him leaving, but this made my day none the less. Thanks Coach Jake!

It's not elite in the Duke, North Carolina, or Kansas sense. It is above Iowa, Minnesota, Iowa State, etc. In other words, on par with Purdue, Illinois, Marquette, etc.

I didn't really believe this and it was nagging at me . . . so I looked it up! I wouldn't quite lump Missouri into that group yet. Purdue, Illinois, and Marquette have all been more successful than Missouri. In fact, Missouri has NEVER reached the Final Four and they've only advanced past the first round of the tournament 13 times!

NCAA Tournament Appearances:
Missouri: 24
Purdue: 25
Illinois: 29
Marquette: 29

NCAA Tournament Round of 32:
Missouri: 13
Purdue: 21
Illinois: 17
Marquette: 18

NCAA Tournament Sweet Sixteen:
Missouri: 7
Purdue: 9
Illinois: 10
Marquette: 14

NCAA Tournament Elite Eight:
Missouri: 5
Purdue: 4
Illinois: 9
Marquette: 6

NCAA Tournament Final Four:
Missouri: 0
Purdue: 2
Illinois: 5
Marquette: 3

NCAA Tournament Runner Up:
Missouri: 0
Purdue: 1
Illinois: 1
Marquette: 1

NCAA Tournament Championships:
Missouri: 0
Purdue: 1
Illinois: 1
Marquette: 1

Does 1915 count for Illinois? I suppose it does if they have one and Missouri doesn't.

Shaka Smart signed a new deal with VCU..8 years at 1.2 million a year. That seems pretty significant for a mid-major coach.

How in the hell can VCU afford a raise from 350K to 1.2 mil?

They are a big school (32,000+ students) located in the state capitol Richmond, with the accompanying professional schools - that is Medical, Dentistry, Pharmacy, etc. Thats how.

Was Jake in Houston for Vacation or a recruiting trip?

Interesting choice by Mizzou considering Haith's job security was already in question at Miami...

That's eerie. Thankfully we got the smartest of the pair.

It looks like Paul Hewitt..the guy who took Georga Tech to the championship game, is going to be hired at George Mason. Laurrenaga (spelling? I don't really care) went to Miami I believe.
