Otherwise it does not make sense to go to AR! I do not see how they are a better job.

Seriously?

Wade will be a tough pull for us, but you gotta try.

If Jans is interviewing in person today, it's over. One way or the other, it's over

If the size of the arena is the most important factor, then sure.

But we have owned them the past 9 years with a 11 wins and only 2 losses.

And yes I have spent time in northwest Arkansas. :confused:

Apparently we will never be able to keep a coach without a Target.:( ***

If Jans is hired at Arkansas, our MBK program is finished immediately. In other words, we are the worst program in the West. That's cool because football needs serious serious concentration. But even if Jans returns it will have a negative effect on the program and whether he makes the tourney next year will be irrelevant because he isn't committed. He won't be here for the 25-26 season. Let's please, please make this an opportunity for football.

I hope he leaves. No one will be fired up over basketball knowing he wants out. As far as emphasizing football goes that would be fine with me. But you know State will try to get a good coach and compete.

Chris Beard was offered the Arkansas job and quickly turned it down. KSU?s coach, Tang, was also approached but reupped with the Wildcats.

I am surprised the Jans? interview was made public. This makes it uncomfortable to return in the event he is not selected. I would not be surprised to see the Hogs turn to former player Darrell Walker.

Supposedly Arkansas didn't meet beard's NIL requirements. If ark isn't gonna spend, not sure Jans moves the needle for them. Jans will make the tourney there, but probably won't pull the talent to win like ark wants to win

Walker is 82-99 (50-56) at UALR. Why him?

He is a courtesy interview most likely

Because we don't pay the buy out and our players don't leave.

Jans wants out. If he's offered, he's gone.

Arkansas isn't Richardson Arkansas anymore. They aren't nearly what some people think. It's marginally better, & that's about it otherwise they'd be making a bigger hire than Jans.

The fact their fans show up makes it better just by myself

Yes, but is there a Target in Fayetteville? If you don't want a small town is Fayetteville the place to go?

It?s me

If this is true and he is interviewing its over with us even if he doesn't get hired. How could he come back to the team and face the players, admin and fans with everyone knowing he is trying to get out. We need to be looking for a new coach right now! Will Wade sounds good to me but would he be interested?

Yeah, he needs to go whether Arkansas hires him or not. If he doesn't get the job and comes back he'll spew the rah rah "I'm all Dawg" bs, but his arse can kick rocks and pound sand. If we ain't good enough get the eff out. He's dead to me now.

Mullen apparently didn't have any trouble coming back and facing the players. But seriously, Jans is not a top line recruiter any way so I don't see how this would help get the players he needs.

Refresh my memory, did Mullen interview for another job and get turned down then returned? I'm not saying you're wrong I just don't remember that. If so was it public knowledge that he was interviewing?

Oh ok, I don't remember that. Regardless I don't want Jans back at all! I hope he gets the job, I don't want anyone at State that doesn't want to be there. The fact that he is interviewing for another job affects current players, signees and recruits.. they are all probably thinking about the transfer portal right now and I can't really blame them

Same here. I don't need Mullen 2.0. If he interviewed, "Good Riddance". Be all in or be gone.

---

Except for Hubbard falling into his lap, he has brought in no one who made a difference his two years here. Has won with Howland's recruits and most are gone next year. Good riddance "Dan 2.0".

Thats a really good point. Other than Hubbard, who has he brought in thats made an impact? No one! And he was lucky to get Hubbard because of Ole Miss' coaching change

Ark is definitely a better job but damn what a risky move by Jans. If he does not get it he just 17ed himself. What players will want to stay now? And fan support will die

Anybody think maybe Selmon and Bailey Howell told him to look around because he is a short timer here?

I highly doubt that. Unless there is something going on that we don't know about, he took us to the tournament 2 times in two years.. Howland got us there once in 7 years.
Jans can coach defense but he can't recruit so that will be an issue for him. I just hope he leaves, I lost all respect for him. If you are interviewing for a job that means he is not happy or content where he is. He has to go

This is really bad timing for us so late into the year because all the good coaches got scooped up. This is definitely not good at all no matter the outcome.

Honestly I wouldn't be mad if he interviewed, but to let this get out is really unforgivable in my eyes. You can't let an interview be out in the public just in case you don't get it

No. We want him to stay awhile. But he doesnt want that

What is his biggest hangup? Just Starkville itself or something specific with the program? I have not been very impressed with Jans recruiting. Without what Howland left behind there would not have been 2 trips to the NCAA tourney.

We need to give Jans a raise and put an end to this.

1. Ok that's fine.
2. LOL only a handful of schools have unlimited NIL for basketball. Even if we did have unlimited NIL, Jans ass couldn't recruit the players needed. He's brought in ONE player that has made an impact in two years and his ass got lucky Kirby got fired to get him.
