I give up. What is FGCU?

[tropicalshox]

Florida Gulf Coast.

It's Florida Gulf Coast University. And count me in for that job. I really don't give a crap what division they are.

[wusphlash]

Atlantic Sun Conference. One of the recent "let's move up to D-1 so we can get some of the $1,000,000,000 pie" schools. Can't see Chris settling for this job.

Warm weather nice!

It gets cold in Ft. Meyers. Frost and all that stuff.

Let's face it boys and girls...we are just a stepping stone in the stream of college basketball on alot of fronts. Just sayin.

Hmm that little school might do pretty well if Jans has some contacts with mid major talent who may be transferring. He might know a long point guard who left a program as a freshman, an athletic forward who is just a red shirt freshman & they may have other friends familiar with a particular system.

I think Jim Les has best chance of getting this job. I'm not kidding.

It would make sense with the AD having been at Bradley.

We played them in baseball last year. Everyone said they would benefit us greatly in terms of RPI help. They 'buttered' out and never lived up to the hype and now I'm pissed off at them for that.

didn't Jans coach a JUCO in the panhandle of florida?

[Dan]

I hope he stays. I have a feeling Jans=Boyle. If he leaves, it will be worse than we think.

This is from his bio on goshockers.com

"Jans led Chipola [Fla.] Junior College to an impressive 32-5 overall record in one season, its first Panhandle Conference Championship in 10 years with an 11-1 record, its first FCCAA State Championship in 16 years and a sixth-place finish at the NJCAA National Tournament."

I think this makes more sense then some think.
