I am guessing assistant Greg Heiar (who has coached with Jans from his beginning) will also be joining him. Heiar and Jans were the two biggest Juco recruiters for Marshall.

This probably means Gregg isn't moving up anytime soon.

Forbes on Marshall's staff is also an Iowan and has been close friend with Jans for years, so I wonder if Heiar doesn't move with Jans will Forbes go.

I'm not sure why anyone would leave an assistant coaching job at WSU to become an assistant coach at Bowling Green.

I bet assistants are WSU are making between $100K-$150K. Bowling Green assistants are probably making nothing more than $65K

Re: Chris Jans hired at Bowling Green

Maybe the assistants didnt realize 100k is more than 65k. You dont seem to know 2.2 million is more than 2 million so i am sure you can relate to their disability.

Stop it. You don't want to be humiliated in two different threads.

Moving "up"? Wasn't he just the coach of a team that was in the Final Four last season and then a #1 seed this year? How do you move up?

You mean the one Gregg turned down last year?? Or was that USC? One of those two.

Actually turned both of them down last year. Has also turned down South Carolina and NC State in the last three years.

Wichita has the resources of a major program. I don't see Gregg leaving unless one of the eastern blue bloods (North Carolina, Duke, Ohio State, Indiana) comes calling...
