Do we now lose Jordan?

[MPLS-PANTHER]

Does anyone think that Jordan will decommitt and go to the Clowns?

[BCPanther]

No, I would hope that Coach Jake has him on the phone right now!!

You're making the assumption we're keeping Coach Jake.

News...don't worry. That's all I have to say.

[BCPanther]

Hartzell has made that abundantly clear for the past 2 years. If true, I would expect an announcement on Coach Jake very soon as well. If not, somebody get Terry Carroll on the phone!!

[MPLS-PANTHER]

Any other possible candidates?

[B.True]

i hope that coach jacobson will be offered the position and will accept it.....if all this is true, then its his time to run a program

[UNIAlum95]

I can see it clearly now...

My wife was right when she read the article about Coach Mac and Jake. One of Mac's quotes was that it took a tremendous amount of courage for Jake to jump from one ND school to the other. She thought it was a prelude to what was coming. Just like always, my wife was right again...

[BCPanther]

If its not Jake, I don't know where we would go. Terry Carroll is the only name I can think of that can sustain this. What about Darian DeVries??

Could you translate your wife-speak to English?

Start the Alford to UNI rumors! Kidding...

We discussed this on another thread last night; look at the precendent for success SIU has set with three coaches in three years with a background in the program. There's no reason to think Coach Jake can't do the same thing, or close enough that the change doesn't cause the program to take a step backward.

Sure, she saw the way Mac was talking up Jake for making a hard decision to jump to another in-state school. That told her that he was prepping himself for a jump in-state. A stretch at the time, yes. Now, looks pretty smart.

And talking up Jake for the UNI job at the same time. I kind of wondered about the timing of that story at the time, but had nothing to base an actual opinion on. Makes you wonder whether Mac had any knowledge of what was going to happen at ISU. This has all moved so quickly that it can't be just coincidence.

UNIAlum95, can I talk with your wife regarding the stock market? She's got some good instincts

[Newsbreaker]

Whatever the case, UNI needs to proceed with both caution and wisdom here. We're not 'set' as a good program, we're not even close. There are many programs that play in the NCAA a few times, then fizzle out. Whatever RH's next move, he needs to be very careful, and make sure we move in the right direction. It would be very embarassing to have a new building that never gets more then half full in a few years.

Thanks I needed something to laugh at. I think her clairvoyance is limited to coaching changes for Midwest basketball teams at the current time. I'll let you know if she points out the next Microsoft to me...
