He would've taken it too. They talked money and Minnesota offered less than a $400,000 raise from where he is now and that's exactly why he didn't take it.Minnesota REALLY messed up hiring the wrong Ben.. I imagine Coach Jake would have retained Green and his deep connections to the twin cities.. They wouldn't be the laughing stock of the B1G.
A seriously want to know how a coach like him is still at UNI?
He's talked over and over about not messing with happy and he's not out to chase jobs just to chase jobs, he's also a guy that has flat said he's not going to coach forever. He makes $1M in Cedar Falls and has complete and total job security. He's 7ish years from passing Henry Iba as the all time winningest Valley coach and I would guess he doesn't hang on much past that. He'll hand the program to Seth Tuttle and UNI Basketball will be in good hands for another generation.
