I’d be shocked! I’m sure he read the Ky message boards**.

[Commercecomet24]

This may actually have some legs. Guess we'll find out tomorrow

[basedog]

If Cal takes the Hogs job he is butt hurt. I’m thinking he knows his time is up at Ky if this rumor is true.

[preachermatt83]

A lot of Kentucky fans want him gone. He knows he’s on borrowed time.

It's for the best. He's got a good team next year.

The fact cal is interested in leaving Kentucky for ark should be enough for us to realize jans being interested is warranted. I want Jans to stay

Yep

[Quaoarsking]

I do too, and I'm sure Kentucky fans forgave Stoops for trying to leave for Texas A&M.

[BeardoMSU]

Lots of smoke. Y'all better reconcile your feelings because Jans looks to be back....with a good team too.

Ok bama fans, get worried about oats

[msstate7]

Done deal per Pete Thamel

[dawgday166]

What's a done deal?

ETA: Personally ... If he wants outta Starkville so bad then I'm ready for him to go.

[msstate7]

What's a done deal?

Calipari is the new coach at ark.

[dawgday166]

Calipari is the new coach at ark.

Wow!

[DawgFromOxford]

Jans to Kentucky. You heard it here first

[msstate7]

Jans to Kentucky. You heard it here first

Jans wishes. Oats will be #1 target.

Correction, Jans to Alabama. You heard it here first

Beard more likely imo

[dawgday166]

I don't think Jans has done enough yet for the KY and now the Bama job either.

[CaptainObvious]

Talk about Dominoes in Championship Weekend! There will be the potential for many to fall. Or... maybe none.

One of the biggest names in college sports, Calipari has been at Kentucky since 2009. He led the Wildcats to the national title in 2012 and went to four Final Fours in his first six seasons in Lexington. Kentucky then went to a pair of Elite Eights in 2017 and 2019 but has won just one NCAA tournament game since that last run to the regional final.

Hard to believe... sure seemed he won more than 1 NC in all that time.

[CaptainObvious]

Oats to UK, Beard to Bama, Jans and Hubbard to Ole Miss.

[msstate7]

Oats to UK, Beard to Bama, Jans and Hubbard to Ole Miss.


Wade to OM

[ZedFedder]

Oats to UK, Beard to Bama, Jans and Hubbard to Ole Miss.

Bruh.

What? I thought sarcasm was encouraged on this board.

Gotta use the *** for me, bro.

[Bothrops]

Lol at CHRIS JANS!!! When getting greedy makes you look like fool hahaha

[WPS]

Deal apparently includes $6 million per year in NIL for Calipari from Tyson. Wonder how Muss feels about that lol

[HoopsDawg]

18 mill buyout. Byrne did some work there.

That's incredible. You need 7 players. He can pay them 850k each.

From what I've gathered, they'll go after Hurley first and then oats. Read Jay wright could get a call too

Just from Tyson? Man, then reroute all other money to football, and you can get this ship righted

[basedog]

Jay Wright is so well spoken on TV, dude can dress like he Coached which was awesome! LOL, classy guy!

Not sure he'd come back, but he's a top flight coach

Now does UK go after Hurley or Oats?

[msstate7]

Thanks for the edits, scooba. For some reason, posting X posts is like reading Egyptian hieroglyphs

I completely disagree, Cal is leaving Kentucky because he has underperformed recently and the alumni and fans are all over him. UK is a better job than Arkansas, Cal is just running away from it. Jans hasn't done enough at State to be publicly interviewing for jobs like he is, I'm sure he didn't put it out there, but it got out and now he looks stupid and lost respect from alot players and fans because we know he wants out. I wish he would leave because I don't want a coach that doesn't want to be here

Unless we find a coach that's got ties to miss state, they will always be open to taking a better job. If a better job opened up that requested an interview with you today, would you turn it down for loyalty?

ETA... cal had a lifetime contract with a 30+ million buyout at Kentucky. That's pretty tough to walk away from.

I don't get my panties in a wad over coaches and players shopping themselves.

I'll say it again, I don't want a coach who doesn't want to coach at State and now we all know Jans will leave at the drop of a dime. And is Arkansas that great of a job now? Obviously they have more history than we do because of the Nolan Richardson days but what has Arkansas really done lately?

Say what you want about him but Rick Stansbury had plenty of opportunities to leave us, I remember when Clemson was trying to get him, he stayed and wanted to build a program, that's the type of Coach I want. Yes it's a business and we all understand that but Jans hasn't done enough yet to be publicly interviewing for jobs.

What recruit wants to come play for him now? How will he sell our program when recruits know he tried leaving? It's a bad look for him.

With NIL, players leave after 1 season anyway. They sign 1 year deals now.

Ark is giving Cal 6 million a year for NIL, so yeah, they're that much better.

And guess what on stansbury, he got fired after not making the tourney 3 seasons in a row. Loyalty is something fans like to talk about, but they don't exercise. Again, see arnett.

It's strange to me that some of you want a guy to stay who doesn't really want to be here. I have no issues with him or anyone else looking for better jobs but that shouldn't have gotten out to the public because thats how you lose the fanbase and recruiting. From what I've heard he simply just doesn't like it in Starkville.. if that's true he needs to leave

Some of us just think more than others. Jans is a good coach, and firing him would be about as dumb a move you could make.

[msstate7]

And lest we forget, our loyalty demanding fans were ready to fire jans after our blow out loss at bama

[HoopsDawg]

You wanted him fired

[Commercecomet24]

You wanted him fired

Oops, lol! You know 7 gets emotional.

[msstate7]

You wanted him fired

Exactly! None of us are loyal to any coach, so why should they be loyal to us? It's a business.

ETA... I wanted him fired way before the Bama game this year; it was Florida last year. I was wrong.

[Johnson85]

I actually will respect Calipari a little over this. I doubt he is coming out ahead by being at Arkansas compared to waiting for his buyout. I mean, it shouldn't be hard to have a lot of goodwill for a fanbase that has paid you as much as UK's has paid him, but still nice that he is basically letting UK get out of this unscathed (unless it comes out that he negotiated a chunk of his buyout in exchange for voluntarily leaving).

[msstate7]

Oops, lol! You know 7 gets emotional.

Very. In games though, I can use my head while not in the heat of a win/loss.

[Commercecomet24]

I agree with you on that. I've seen you go crazy in games and then come back to rationality later or the next day. Also you are one of the very few on here who will admit being wrong.

[RocketDawg]

It's probably just me, but I can't see paying $8M/year for a basketball coach.

[dawgday166]

I agree with you on that. I've seen you go crazy in games and then come back to rationality later or the next day. Also you are one of the very few on here who will admit being wrong.

I'll 2nd this. He's actually gotten better in game too.

I kinda miss the historic in game meltdowns by 7 **

[NCMSTFAN]

Some of us just think more than others. Jans is a good coach, and firing him would be about as dumb a move you could make.

So obviously you want him here and that's fine, I don't hate the guy I just don't want a coach with one foot out of the door coaching our program. That being said do you not think this hurts recruiting? Affects attendance? Runs off the fanbase? I just don't see how it's a good thing.

What affects recruiting? NIL money
Our attendance has sucks for years

This makes no sense. Who cares if he and his family dread every second here if he is producing results? And before anyone tells me he does not produce results, when is the last time a new coach came in and took us dancing year 1 and 2? Ever? Jans is a professional and can balance his personal life with his professional career like anyone else. When he decides to leave, we all move on. Makes zero sense to run him off at this point

So basically we don't care if you like it here or not just go win! Lol that's simply ridiculous I want a coach who wants to be at State.. maybe I'm in the minority, that's fine I'll stay in the minority

He is a basketball coach, not a city rep? Yes, just win. That is all I care about

You sound ridiculous to me but that's your opinion and I won't try to change it

To me, the landscape has changed and loyalty doesn’t come into play like it used to.

It is what it is. I don’t like it though!

By this stance you?d rather have Arnett as our football coach instead of Mullen.

In a perfect scenario we would have a successful coach who loves MSU and Starkville but at the end of the day it?s a job. Coaches are hired to win games, everything else is secondary.
