Chris Jans Fired

[AZZZZ]

Strack just tweeted the video and an email from a concerned parent I believe.

I mean what the hell was Jans thinking? I drink plenty but never, ever act like that, I just don't. He seems to be acting like he's above the law.

What a waste, damn it.

JANS WAS DRUNK AND WAS SWEARING AND USED INAPPROPRIATE REMARKS TOWARDS A BLONDE. HE PATTED HER ON HER BEHIND. CH 13 NEWS ALSO SHOWED THE VIDEO. BEEN REPORTED ON THE NEWS THAT THIS WASNT THE ONLY TIME HE WAS DRUNK AT A BG BAR.

Not sure how to display this.

Here is the letter that was sent to Mr. Kingston

I hope his career isn't over...reprehensible behavior and it certainly disqualifies him from employment here and now. but...given the proper treatment program and some time as an assistant, I would hope he gets anther chance somewhere

Here is the original letter from a BGSU Alum/fan. The video and the email from Chris Kingston terminating Chris Jans.

Like I said before we want to do things the right way and this is not the right way. Bye-bye. Further discussion not needed.

I must say that I was very impressed with the 5 pages of contact Mr. Kingston had with the person whom brought up this issue as well as the lengthy letter written terminating Jans. Very detailed.

I am proud to be a BG alum right now. It appears Kingston handled this tough, tough situation like a PRO.

I hope to GOD Chris Jans makes it right somehow with himself, his family, and his friends, and finds a way to move forward stronger than before.

[Globetrotter]

Definitely deserved to be fired. Wow.

[Hdog]

Over on the Wichita board, there was one comment from one poster that said "BG over-reacted" by firing Jans??! Blew my mind. To be fair, the vast majority of their posters came down on Jans pretty hard for his actions - to be expected.

Another poster mentioned he had heard stories of Jans "antics at Wichita bars" while there.

[Falcon137]

BG certainly made the right call firing him.

However, hopefully this doesn't define him for the rest of his coaching career.

I think it's safe to say it the next coach will not be coming from the current staff.

[unfalconbelievable]

His coaching career is over!

I don't feel bad for him one bit he did it to himself, we are better off without him. As a parent of two daughters, I actually feel bad for his wife and children he has more then a coaching career to explain when he walks through that front door in Kansas. May have just ruined a family.

I just read the letter, response and saw the 7 second video, and I just want to say I'm very proud of our University and particularly Chris Kingston. There are a lot of places that even if that video and story got it, would try and let it play out and hope it passes away for a Coach who has such promise as Jans. We are desperate for a winning basketball program, but we will not tolerate boorish behavior that reflects poorly on our school, to that I say Bravo Chris Kingston, Bravo BGSU!
