Don't misunderstand me...I'd love to Jank hang around...he's good for the Valley. But that's going to be tough to pass up and honestly, he probably shouldn't pass it up.

What does Jank make at ISUr? Probably next to jack crap would be my guess.
What does Jank get if they fail to make the NCAA next year? Probably they just let his contract run out
What does Jank get if he goes to the NCAA? Probably a lower tier BCS job at absolute best but he will be forced to leave if he wants descent money.
What does Jank get now if he leaves for SMU as coach in waiting? No heartburn next year and a lower tier BCS job.
Summary: Jank will have to leave ISUr one way or another within two years, he can secure his best possible outcome by leaving now. Something about one bird in the hand and two in the bush come to mind except in this case it's one bird in the hand and only one bird in the bush.

I'd guess he's gone. Reports are he'd be getting $1.1 million as CIW at SMU who becomes a Big East school in a year or so. $1.1 I am guessing (don't want to try to find it) is at least double what he is getting at ISUr. I think he has been waiting to bolt since he got to ISUr just no BCS school has offered.Last edited by Zardoz; April 18, 2012, 09:28 AM.

SMU can have him. Yank-on-it is not a good coach. In four seasons at North Texass he went 53-57. Then had a couple good seasons at Hutch (so who hasn't). At ISUR, his best seasons were with Porter Mosers' players. As those players left the program, Yank-on-it had fewer and fewer wins. This season with a team full of his own players, he still had 14 losses. His teams RPI is always terrible because he schedules for crap. And his teams have never made it past the second round of the NIT. He may know his days are numbered at ISUR, so he's trying to get out. But the KSU MildCats didn't want him, and Tulsa didn't want him. So it's back to being an assistant. But on the other hand, for only $400,00.00, maybe ISUR got what they payed for."Hank Iba decided he wouldn't play my team anymore. He told me that if he tried to get his team ready to play me, it would upset his team the rest of the season." Gene Johnson, WU Basketball coach, 1928-1933.

Jank appeared to be getting things turned around and would be in charge of a team picked to compete for a conference title. I think they could hang with and beat Creighton this coming season. His biggest issue in the past has been scheduling. That's what cost him shots at the NCAA his first few years. The schedule has been a little better the past couple years but not great. This coming season I believe it's even better and that ISU is in a nice tournament. For them to lose a head coach now would be horrible. I don't think Jank is a horrid coach. He's an alright recruiter and a decent coach. Scheduling has been the biggest issue with him. And he has another nice class coming in this year. I think if he stays at ISU, he gets a better job than SMU. SMU was a bad job in CUSA and will be an even worse job in the BE.Infinity Art Glass - Fantastic local artist and Shocker fan

1st Season, 25-10

3rd Season, 22-11
4th Season, 12-19
5th Season, 21-14
As Mosers' players left and Yank had more of his own players, he had fewer wins and more losses, including 14 this season. Yanks ISUR record together with his record at North Texass as a head coach indicates to me he is not a good head coach."Hank Iba decided he wouldn't play my team anymore. He told me that if he tried to get his team ready to play me, it would upset his team the rest of the season." Gene Johnson, WU Basketball coach, 1928-1933.
