Some may agree or disagree with his firing, but Jans is well on his way to another head coaching opportunity. And he will take whatever team that is to the tourney before BG ever sniffs a chance to get there.

Considering this board still has some upset with Urban Meyer for leaving BG, Jans having future success should make even those who never attended a game he coached, mad and a moralist.

Why would he take a team there before we ever sniff it? That's some really stupid logic. THis team we have now is pretty good.

Exactly. I think we're in the tourney by 2020. With Dambrot gone, I think our team may finally climb over Akron.

[Eliano's Army]

Gosh, you guys are delusional. This "pretty good" team we have just finished near last place in the MAC. I understand the class we are bringing in is good, but we are not close to competing for a MAC title yet. Also, to say that we will now climb over Akron is a stupid statement. We're competing against the whole MAC, not just Akron, who isn't near the favorite in the MAC for the upcoming season.

This team went 13-18. Lost 3 significant players. Groce will have Akron right back near the top. Buffalo, Ohio, and Kent are all in better positions than BG is. And that is just within the division.

Give me a last place team over having Chris Jans as a coach here.

Well that's the attitude that got Louis Orr a contract extension at Bowling Green.

That's fine if you want to interpret it that way. I want to see the team win as much as the next person, believe me, but if that meant having a coach who acted like Jans in public and called a woman a bitch for calling him out on it, you can count me out.

You would have to not watch the games to believe that the 3 guys who left are going to be a major issue for next year and to not see the enormous talent in the freshman and sophomore classes this year. Then you would have to completely ignore the incoming class on top of that. Essentially you would have to have an agenda. Or maybe you were also fired for getting drunk and wandering around grabbing people's butts and you think it's cool.

[Flipper]

A: Agree with Globe 100%...which is kind of an odd feeling for me This team is 100% headed in the right direction.

B: Agree with Drumstix 100%...I want no part of a head coach who behaves that way. Hopefully that was an aberration and he's learned his lesson. I think the Louis Orr comparison is a bigger straw man than Ray Bolger ever hoped to be.

C: Agree with Guest and Crazy fan that Jans will get another HC gig somewhere. I hope he has his life in order and his family with him and I hope he has success.

Haha. Enormous talent on a 13-18, 10th place MAC team? Those 3 playes were on the court in every key situation of every game they weren't randomly suspended for. Then it must be the coach right? What makes this incoming class so great? Is it that BG recruiting has been so poor for 15 years, that 5 players that some other schools actually wanted, makes it the class that will change everything? This is an incredible class when comparing to Rorie, Erger, Maybelen, and name 5 others no other D1 team wanted. Name me some schools that these guys chose BG over? I get you love to follow recruiting, but come on get to .500 before you start talking about winning a conference tournament and this enormous talent that didn't play over the 3 guys who left.

They had 2 players over 6-6. They had so little depth football players played. They were playing a 6-4 walk on 2 guard at PF. Everyone was playing out of position. They will get better just because they actually have depth now. The 3 players were not on the court in every key situation. I often ran the plus minus and that's just not true. What makes this incoming class so great is that Koch is a 3star that had an offer pulled last minute from WV, Cummings had multiple fifty plus point games, Gadsdon is a giant and athletic, something that will help Wiggins and Koch succeed, Plowden is versatile, Matiss is a late bloomer that could be very nice. Then you also have to add in both Uju and Turner. Both looked like very very competent rotational players during their brief stint. Uju should be a capable 4. Turner has best player on the team ability. We return starters at 4 of the 5 positions. Then we add in atleast 7 new faces.
