Jans Intereviewed on SI.com

Coach Jans was interviewed on SI.com about the Bowling Green job, his approach, etc.  I'd invite you to go on over and check it out.

A newsy item and a couple points.

The newsy item is that he mentions that one of our 9 returning players is in academic peril, for whatever that is worth.  (Note also the very high praise for the quality of the young men Coach Orr recruited as well).

Two points....

He makes a point that I agree with 100%...whether it is Clawson, Babers, or Jans, when you hire a coach from a mid-major or smaller college (ie, not from a power school), you get a coach who understands how to recruit overachievers rather than the best existing players and you get a coach who is used to working on a budget...who is used to making do.

He says he is going to steal everything he can from what they did at Wichita State.  So, if you are looking for a clue, I'd look there.

He's excited about taking the BG men back to the Big Dance, as we all are.  Let it be true this time!
