When will the coaches from Dayton, WS & UNI go on to major conferences? If you were the AD at Texas, Creighton, Okie State, K-State, Illinois, Indiana etc... why wouldn't you go after Miller from Dayton?
They are in the Big East - but I know what you mean.Lol at Creighton being a "major"
Ben Jacobson should be getting a call soon. He has done an amazing job at UNI, and his team does it more with solid play than talent.
Jacobson > McDermott. UNI beat Kansas with Jacobson and has had their best season of all time with Jacobson, not McDermott. I know McDermott left UNI in a good place for Jacobson to take over but Jacobson has done much more than McDermott.McDermott may have ruined it for Ben Jacobson. They are so similar, that it's hard not to think about what happened when McDermott tried the big 12.
. Jacobson was at UNI with McDermott. It looks to me like he was the reason UNI was successful then and now. McDermitt will have to see continued success at Creighton to convince me otherwise.Jacobson > McDermott. UNI beat Kansas with Jacobson and has had their best season of all time with Jacobson, not McDermott. I know McDermott left UNI in a good place for Jacobson to take over but Jacobson has done much more than McDermott.
Mid-major coaches are a lot less likely to take a bigger job now. The money isn't that much different
I think it all depends on the mid major.
Shaka Smart at VCU? He's making 1.5 million. Gregg Marshall? About the same. Indeed, why leave? Any increase is likely to be outweighed by job security unless someone throws big money around
Jacobson? He's got a 500k salary. If he got a $2 million salary, he'd have to look at it. Even if it didnt work out he'd probably have at least a guaranteed 4 years on that and make more in those 4 years than he's making at UNI in 10
