[NYCMustang]

They must really stink if you can smell them while they are swimming.

I hate when you start fanning this flame bc you often hint at things well before they come to be...

[Charleston Pony]

just like Chad, we can't keep others from coming after Jank, but sure hope we can lock him down

I hope SMU's pitch to Jank is that we want you to be Coach K for SMU. And we will make a long time investment in him and his staff.

There are many examples of hot coaches going to a great program and not meeting expectations (See Smart at UT, Tubby at Kansas).

[SMUstangs22]

As long as he can become that. Long term contracts scare me. Dont want to have a Pastner on our hands. Although all indications say it wouldnt be

Jank has been great this year but lets let him get his own recruiting classes in here for a year or two before proclaiming him our "Coach K"

Tubby was never at Kansas. He did coach at Kentucky where he took took his teams to four elite eights and won a national championship. So, I would not call that a bust.

Time to get a coach in waiting for the coach in waiting.

What Sun Belt or MVC team has a promising freshman that really loves their coach and would follow him to Dallas while he waits for Jank to retire or get snatched...

A lot of this comes down to fan support. As long as we are a top 25 team, all games need to be sold out and rowdy.

[jimhagle]

He came here to be LB's right hand man and the head coach in waiting for 4 years and he is going to leave after a good year or 2-think again. Bet he stays here a long long time. He's not CM

Tim will be here next year. Then he and his son will get a package deal at top tier program.
