New Assistant Coach

[WichitaStateGuy]

No doubt-- IF Gregg retires / moves on in the next 5 years, Jans is our next guy.

[another shocker]

no doubt. agreed.

[choida]

I would love to revisit this thread if Gregg were to move in in next 5 years...I just hope that doesn't happen

[SHOCKvalue]

This premise that Jans might not be a legitimate and validated coach is retarded. An opposing opinion for the sake of being an opposing opinion.

Might as well throw in some flat earther and staged moon landings convo for good measure while we’re at it.

[pinstripers]

Jans is a good coach. When that time comes, Jans will likely be one of the finalists.

Sooner rather than later, Jans will be the head coach at the flagship institution in his home state.

This is totally right. It appears that Jans (auto correct almost did Jan’s again) will be of high consideration but anyone who can read 5 years in the future with total certainty shouldn’t be in a leadership position. Yes to long term planning and an AD who has a plan, along with a list of leading coaching candidates prepared, and reviewed each year, ready for a trigger if necessary. But to use the words No Doubt and a list of one candidate, for five years away, lacks credibility imo.

[WSUwatcher]

Actually, someone who can read five years into the future with total certainty would probably be too busy making millions (billions?) of dollars in the stock market to spend his time either on Shockernet or as an AD.

But your point is well taken -- we can make plausible guesses, and the idea that Coach Jans (sans, or maybe san's, apostrophe -- obviously your old teacher wouldn't give autocorrect a very good grade either) will likely be a top candidate for the WSU job at some point in the future is certainly plausible. To call it a no doubter that he'll be THE guy, however, is silly, just as you say.

Tyson Waterman excited to join Wichita State coaching staff: 'I love the energy'

BY TAYLOR ELDRIDGE


The reports on Tyson Waterman's issues with the NCAA may have been incomplete:

Google Waterman's name, and the first story that pops up says he lost his job at Southeast Louisiana and was assessed a Level I violation because he didn't cooperate with an NCAA investigation.

But there was never a follow-up story when Waterman successfully appealed the NCAA's decision.

"That was a situation out of my control," Waterman said. "To the NCAA's credit, they made the right decision by not penalizing me for something I had nothing to do with."

Now you know the Rest of the Story!

[GreatWhiteBuffalo]

Love that the Eagle obviously edited the title or their online-link-maker-person didn't actually read the headline when creating said link. I love that he's Tyrone in the link.

[WuDrWu]

It appears we've got plenty of new energy that's chomping at the bit. There are going to be plenty of challenges in the upcoming season, but I think a lack of energy is unlikely to be one.

Looking forward to seeing some practices!

Top 3 AAC finish... And right in the mix for an at large

I liked the memory (LOL) but that only applies to him. Most players need it.

[proshox]

The crazy part about “practic clip,” AInwasn’t talking about practice.

[BostonWu]

Sounds like he's been tasked with the following:

1) Enforcer - if he needs to don the black hat to bring about Play Angry then someone has to do it and the other two assistants don't necessarily give that appearance.

2) Guide the perimeter players

3) And of course recruit and develop/further relationships

Who were the "Enforcers" in the past?

I'll go back to some of FVV's quotes that he and Ron and other upperclass leaders had to serve as a soothing voice between players and coaches. We already have one Greg Marshall that demands excellence at a high cost. Adding another "Enforcer" would almost guarantee more player turnover.

I read the article as Marshall is the enforcer and Waterman is there as a guy the players can lean on. Somebody who can say, "I know it's tough, Coach is demanding, it's hard, but his system works, it did for me, it will for you. Tough it out and it will pay off, I've been where you are at, I get it."

[C0|dB|00ded]

Coach Jans was an enforcer. He was basically a carbon-copy of Marshall. After last year's Charmin Soft performance, we could certainly use a few more angry men.
