AHC Chris Jans: In the running for New Mexico St Head Coach

[ShockCrazy]

Did AndShock's boss hire him after he got fired for inappropriate advances towards a women that got broadcast across the U.S.? Did his boss just promote him this week after another member of his small team left?

If the answer is no, that's an irrelevant question.

That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. So is he just beholden to Gregg forever? Yeesh. So would you turn down a promotion because there was a chance you might get another job? If so your lying or foolish.

[AndShock]

I assume you would be more than willing to turn down a 50% raise(or more) at your current job out of respect to your current boss?

Guess I should have been more clear. $275k should not have been a problem for Wichita State. I would be disappointed in Wichita State if money was what made Jans leave.

[Veritas]

Marshall certainly did him a favor but let's not act like we didn't get the better end of the deal, we got an elite assistant coach pennies on the dollar. I am certain Jans could have had a true assistant position job rather than the special assistant/consultant job he had here. This wasn't a black ball scenario like Forbes faced. If one year later Eustachy could go to having a head coaching job, or Dave Bliss manage to get another job ANYWHERE, Jans could have gotten an assistant job.

We would have been fine without CJ. However, CJ would not have quickly landed on his feet without HCGM. Therefore, CJ got the better deal.

Breaking News - Live shot of assistant coaches applying for WSU assistant coaching positions



To borrow a line from a former Shockernet poster; "I'm not worried".

Agree. Will not think too much about CJ though after BGSU and this latest stunt. Should have waited one more year imo.

[Speak2me]

I wish him the best. He has been great for WSU for many years now and I have no doubt will be successful at New Mexico St. WSU now has 1 or 2 assistant openings and will get 100+ applicants for those positions. Yes this hurts short term, but we will land a good replacement(s). Good luck Jans.

It's stupid to expect someone to not put a program in a "bad" situation when that program went out of its way to make sure you had a job when you were considered "unhireable"?

Not saying he should be indebted forever but leaving now is just bad timing (GH leaving, him just being promoted, very important recruiting period right now, and a new conference to scout)

[wusphlash]

Best of luck to Chris Jans. I think Gregg could find candidates familiar with the AAC. That could be a plus.

[Shock Top]

Timing sucks, yes. Coach's want a shot at running their own program. I am sure he didn't expect this opportunity to come along so quickly after accepting the AHC job.

As long as he expresses how extremely greatful and indebted towards Gregg and WSU in the media, then all will be well. He's been given a second chance at life. Hopefully he doesn't let this one get away from him tooz

Here's an interesting theory:

What if Gregg knew that Chris wouldn't be here next year and so Gregg "promoted" Chris to make him look better for his next job?

[Dave Stalwart]

Maybe HCGM really likes Lindsted?

This. We were incredibly lucky to have CJ for the past two years.

Good luck to him.

Let's see how the judges rate this long-jump assumption:

9.9 10.0 9.7 9.3 9.8 7.0

The Russian judge strikes again!

You shouldn't assume that I make a lot of assumptions.

I wonder if some of you think that players passing tests and graduating are showing signs of disloyalty.

None of us know what goes on behind closed doors nor all the reasons CJ is leaving. Stop making assumptions. The fact there are fans on here throwing a man under the bus, a man who helped build the incredible program we have now, is unbelievable to me. To act like you would walk away from Life changing money just because it would help out your current job is laughable.
