That's good. With Marshall there, we always have a chance to beat them. A better coach might do something with that talent. I love bad coaches and bad refs. It's like pro wrestling: we need something to yell at.

I think Marshall jumps at any major conference job. His team losses a lot and they'll be rebuilding the next few years so this is his year to get a good offer.

If Jake left for Iowa and wanted to come back in 10 years would you want him?

For the record I hope weber goes to SIU. Good for them and good for us.

Totally different situation. Illinois was Final Four ready and stocked with Bill Self talent. Not an absolute disaster.

I guess I was thinking more about betrayal and emotions a move that that would have.

Re: coaching moves

How much do you think we could realistically pay Coach Jake? Are we already at the ceiling of what we can pay him? I think his 10 year deal that he signed two years ago started at approx. 500K, with annual raises of 25K, which would put him around 750K at the end of the contract.

With Mark Few (Gonzaga), Brad Stevens (Butler), and now Shaka Smart (VCU) all deciding to stay at their mid-major jobs, I think it has shown that when some coaches are in good comfortable situations with good programs and competitive pay, coaches will stay at these jobs. Those guys are all making over $1 million.

If we could somehow find a way to get Jake's salary up near 900K-1MM, we may be able to lock him up for good. Again, I don't know if it would even be feasible for us, but it would be amazing if we were able to do so.
