  • Coach Jake

    Admittedly I'm not the biggest Jake fan. Not a hater by any means but disappointed by some things...

    But 2 out of 3 outright titles baby. And in a just world one of those was an at large.. hopefully that will keep the trolls at bay for a while..

    I love Coach Jake, but I also get fed up with him at times. It seems like whenever I'm ready to join the Fire Jake train, he does this. Heck of a job getting this team going. Let's win 3 more next week, then go bust some brackets in a big way.
    To avoid confusion - my username is baseball (Cy Young award) related, NOT for the Cyclones.

        Honestly, he should get MVC Coach of the Year.

        We got off to a horrid start in the non-conference and were 4-7 in 2021. We're 14-3 in 2022, and two of those losses came in overtime.

        I don't what other coach it could or should go to, to be honest.

          Unfortunately Valetine will get it.

            Ain’t it some **** that a team that finishes fourth in the conference after being preseason favorites would win COY?

              Nah, the guy picked basically in a first place tie that finishes 4th ain't getting it, especially with them leaving.

              Getting close to needing to rename it the 'Ben Jacobson Coach of the Year Award'.

                If they had a better record, maybe that dude from ISUb because of how they played while undermanned. Darian might get some votes. But it's probably between Jake and Valentine.

                  I love UNI. But here is my question to anyone that has been ever been on a fire Ben Jacobson train, if you look at our recruiting base ( the state of Iowa and a nice connection in the twin cities), endowment, availability to big donors, facilities, fan support, the lack of support from the board of regents, just who do we rank ahead of in the Valley? 21 years ago when McDermott and Jake walked on to the campus, did we have advantages over any Mo Valley schools? Who by rights should we be beating? What advantages does Northern Iowa offer a coach in comparison to its main competitors?
                  Jake wins with good kids and he wins on a regular basis. He won with teams based on defense and he just won scoring 102 freaking points. I could be wrong ( I am on a regular basis ), but I feel damn lucky to have him coaching at my school.

                      Obviously, I beg to differ, given what is handed out to get this.

                        Pfft. Whatever. Oregon State was the most legitimate Elite 8 team in tournament history.

                            Is that the reaction shot from after Born's 3 in overtime?

                              Obviously they played their best basketball when it mattered most last season; I'm not going to hold that against them.

                              Ironically though, they are absolutely terrible this season; almost as bad as Iowa State was last year. They're currently 3-24. I remember thinking in the pre season that it would be a big non-conference win for the 'Clones to knock them off, and it probably was for the 2nd game of the season. Not so much now though.
