Chris Jans Original Thread

Everyone makes mistakes. I hope we welcome jans back with open arms.

People make mistakes and get 2nd chances. As long as he didnt break the law, im all for hiring him back.

I would wait to find out what actually happened, because God knows it's gonna leak, before rolling out the red carpet for his return.

I love Jans, however I want to know more! Use common sense people!

Yes, people always make mistakes. But those mistakes are usually based on bad choices or judgment. In any case, the next step is accountability and rehabilitation. Then forgiveness and 2nd chances follow.

The length and severity of the accountability and rehabilitation phase will depend on the nature of the transgression. Which at this point is a relatively significant unknown that needs to be known before any judgments can be made.

BGSU has this information and their judgment resulted in a pretty drastic action. I have no doubt Chris is very remorseful and no doubt embarrassed by whatever he did to cause this. But that is not the same as accountability and rehabilitation.

Just don't form any opinions if Will Kunkle breaks the news. It probably isn't accurate. Wait till you hear it from Paul S.

It may be hard for GM to bring him back. If it is a serious issue you can bet coaches competing with GM for the same recruit will tell parents this to sway them from having their kid being coached by Jans.

Ok, so whatever he did in the bar, he didn't immediately get arrested for, so it probably wasn't criminal. But, obviously it was bad enough that it got him fired. So, it's hard to know what exactly would fall into that grey area. I would love for him to be back on staff assuming whatever is on that video is not too vile. It might be hard for Jans to crawl back to Wichita after being fired and immediately get back into the swing of things, but HCGM will have to make that call.

This is a good point, but may be moot depending on what he actually did.

One thing I feel pretty confident about is that HCGM and Jans have spoken since this release.

I'd be disappointed if he hadn't.

I have heard that it was an alteration at a bar (and it was recorded).

I wonder if there was an altercation with police? In that case, he should be fine. It was no biggie for Jamari Traylor.

[newshock1234]

Anyone find the timing on this odd. He gets fired literally 12 hours after Marshall decides to stay at WSU. Anyone think they were hoping Marshall would go to Bama and then they could keep this hush hush in hopes that we would try to hire Jans?
