    While your point is potentially valid (see their football program), my point was that Jake is not in a position to name his own job. In other words, he's not in the same league as Shaka Smart was the past few years.

      Mention of a coach Jake in this article from ESPN. I don't want to send to board into a frenzy, but they list Jake as, "The Realistic Hire" and say that Jake has been mentioned, according to sources close to the program.

      The Realistic Hire

      Ben Jacobson,*Northern Iowa Panthers
      Age:*45
      Bio:*The North Dakota native was elevated to the head spot at Northern Iowa when Greg McDermott left for Iowa State in 2006. He's best known for UNI's upset over Kansas in the second round in 2010, but he's gone to three NCAA tournaments in his nine years."

        my personal opinion is that the win against UNC put the nail in the coffin to us losing Jacobsen. It may not be Wisconsin, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen sometime soon.

        If we lose him will we go externally for the replacement?

        If Jake sticks around two more seasons, his departure will probably be in line with McDermott losing his job at Ceighton. Would we welcome Greg back like Cleveland welcomed back LeBron?

          I can't speak for anyone else on this board, but that's a big Hell No for me.

          Time will tell with Jake. I can see him leaving for Wisconsin, but that's one of the few jobs I can see him leaving for.

            What the hell does the UNC win have to do with anything?

                Because if Jake can consistently beat #1 teams with a squad made up of mid-level talent, then he shouldn't have an issues doing it with higher level recruits.

                From our perspective, Jake is the same guy today as he was last year or even the year before.

                From the outsiders perspective, Jake beat #1 Kansas in 2010 and then went 5 years until his next tournament appearance. That's great, but it's not overly impressive. But, when you graduate your best player and more and then turn right around with a no-name squad and beat a #1 ranked blue blood, collectively the wins against #1 Kansas and #1 UNC gain more attention.

                Jake's body of work has now become more diversified. Instead of being defined by one individual big win (2010 vs. KU) or one individual highly successful season (2010), it's now collectively being defined by multiple big wins and multiple highly successful seasons.

                  The UNC win is definitely nice, but it's Tournament wins that garner attention. The UNC win is something that you're judged by to get in the tourney, and helps Jake's overall resume. IMO, it's not as a huge career benchmark.

                    Did Jacobson lose his damn mind after the UNC win? You know, like Smart did? Still trying to find a video of that, it was embarrassing.

                      Nope. Shook Roy's hand. Hugged Wes Washpun and Paul Jesperson. Pumped his fist to the crowd and walked off.

                        what do you mean by losing his mind?

                          Kinda what I figured. Cause he's not a no-class crazy-person.

                            I can't find a video of it. But Smart freaking loses his mind after they review and count the basket for Texas.

                              To be honest, I don't want even to think about any of those questions!

                                Wow, what an ignorant statement. Would LOVE to have you expand on that one.
