On Sunday. If he takes it, gotta hire Will Wade right?
He gone
Hmmm. I was wondering why Vic Schaefer was at the baseball game tonight. He must be interviewing for our soon to be vacant Men's Coach!
That would be a strong hire. I'm actually ok if that's the tradeQuote:

I can't blame him for interviewing. Ark is a better jobQuote:

No, but we can recruit players that can shoot free throwsQuote:

ETA; I knew we would eventually lose Jans, but I did not think it would be to Arkansas.
Hubbard gone too?
I agree with all of this. Go get will wade and inject some excitement into this program. Jans' style is just not exciting, which attributes to small attendance. I've been pretty critical of Jans this year because I've felt like he's done a pretty mediocre job coaching this team this past year but I also recognize he's got us to the tournament 2 years in a row and thank him for thatQuote:

Arkansas expects to win now. More cushion here. That being said, I believe you're right. No one thinks they'll fail moving upwards. Unfortunately it's about what kind of money you have to pay the coach, staff, and now to get playersQuote:

Well, the fact that he is interviewing and he hasn't been told to pack his bags shows how weak our admin is. The fact is Men's Basketball ranks 4th in importance to State Admin and State Fans. It is what it is. State a basketball hasn't been in the Top 2 ever and it hasn't been in the Top 3 since Stansbury was run off. There are a few hundred sometimes vocal message board fans who hated Stans and his team family dynamic, but Thousands of State fans loved him and felt he should have had a chance to right the ship. Then, the clown that was forced upon the State "Family" to coach just pushed more fans away. Then boring styles of basketball made things less palatable.
Why would we fire him and pay his buyout? Have a little common sense.Quote:

If he wants out that bad then I'm sure that he'd wave his buyout. However it's better for us if the place he goes has to pay us his buyout. Either way Selmon is having a busy weekendQuote:

Our next coach is only 2.5 hours away in Homewood, AL and he goes by ?Bucky?.
Looks like Faulk has informed people on On3 that Jans will be the next coach at arky. Go get will wade yesterday and thank your lucky stars that Arky did this.
This would be a good hireQuote:

It's what it is in todays sports, you don't see guys around long now days.Quote:

Our basketball resources have been plentiful in the past so unless something has changed, then I don't know what else he expects
We find the right guy, he will come here, do well and stay. Until then get whoever can recruit and win. Now I don't know about Wade. Too much for me.
I want what's best for all our programs. The best thing is for Jans to come back. But damage is being done now and the more he does this, the worse it's going to be. Maybe he's back another season but we need to be looking for another coach. I'd pull the contract offer now too. That buyout would go up if he wants a contract. Otherwise, play out the current one.
This and it's not just sports either. It's in every line of workQuote:

Otherwise it does not make sense to go to AR! I do not see how they are a better job.
Way better job, they have a really nice arena with it being very loud. They have been good in basketball way longer than Msu.Quote:
