Official release coming, but we are OFFICIALLY in the market for a new coach.
Go get Chris Jans. If his team loses today, this needs to be done by the weekend.
Jans has gained a lot of steam in the past 48 hours. If he is the guy and they do not make a run then we need to have him hired by Tuesday at the latest.Quote:

I appreciate all Ben did. He brought us back to respectability but it was time. I think he's tired and wish him the best. Heck, who wouldn't want to return back to Malibu with his money.
I hate to see coaches get fired, especially good ones.. Ben is a good coach but his style is outdated and we need some fresh new energy in at State. Good luck to Howland going forward
Me too. I've been waiting for this for several years.Quote:

I think you would like him to win a game and then get knocked out in the Round of 32Quote:

Regardless, they are winning whether it?s with talent or not so they know how to be a head coach and win at the lower level. I would be very pleased with either of these hires. I would much rather hire a coach like Jans or McMahon and if they don?t work out it?s a lot better than hiring someone that hasn?t proven they can win at the head level.
I was hoping IT was gonna be Ben's decision. Makes me a little sick.
Too much money involved to "retire".Quote:
