And he isn't meeting those expectations. People always say you get what you pay for but we are getting absolutely robbed by him.
Chris Jans is the 18th highest paid coach in the NCAA

- Start date
It’s time for a coaching search. The dentist has no bite
also exhibit A why students shouldn't be paid these ridiculous salaries
Bbbbbbbbut muh making the NCAAT????*****
Seems like just yesterday so many on this board were smitten with his tourney appearances, even though he choked away every 17ing one of them. One poster in particular went on the offensive to promote this clown…. Kinda blowing up in his face atm.

Sorry guys, it’s my fault guys. Bought season tickets for first time in forever
Boy you’re going to enjoy those tickets. **
He deserves the chance to fix it.
I’m on the fire Jans train.
ZERO tourney wins and a total ahit show to start this year!
Fire his *** now bc this season is gonna be totally lost and in year 4 or 5 in this league, that is totally unacceptable!

Pretty wild to see Jans (3 NCAA Tournaments, which is the equivalent of an 8-4 football season) have lower support than 1-14 Lebby.
Yeah yall are nuts if you are wanting Jans run off already. We had been to 11 NCAA Tournaments in our history before hiring him and he went 3 for 3 to start his career here….. No other coach in our history even made it to the tourney ONCE before their fourth season.
If any coach on our campus (not counting Oak since he hasn’t coached a game yet) can be allowed a down year, it’s Chris Jans.

Am I the only one who paid attention to our portal class? It was clear we were going to suck.
I wasn’t referencing you, FWIW. There was another poster who was all offensive on Jans all day every day.
I’ve kinda changed my tune from last night. Jans looking like Mullen in his final year. He just looks uninterested IMO. Doesn’t seem like the players respect him anymore and that’s a problem. I miss his first team that had zero talent, but played hard af
With that said I appreciate what’s he’s done but maybe time to part ways. Who’s next is the real question? I really want Mississippi State Basketball to be successful and I think it has been the last few years. It’s been fun, but I don’t think Jans is interested anymore. Maybe it is time to look elsewhere by the end of the season unless we see some sort of huge turn around. I feel like coaches are also just as exchangeable in this new NIL era as the players
Won’t bother me in the least if he’s gone, as long as we get an exciting hire. I’m still scarred from firing Stans and hiring Rick Ray. My god what a suicide that was
It's true that Jans is the only coach in States 114 year history that has gone to the NCAAs in the first 3 years as the coach. But with State's poor history in basketball that's not a great accomplishment (not to take anything away from Jans). In fact, of the 21 coaches State has had in basketball only 10 have had records above .500. Of course the great Babe McCarthy needs an asterisk next to his record since State was forbidden to play in the NCAA tournament due to racism. An argument can be made that E C Hayes was our greatest BB coach as he won 3 straight Southern Conference championships in his first 3 years as coach going undefeated in his first year. Of course, they didn't have the NCAA tournament back in his day.
Are they faculty tickets? You can always sell them to the higher ranked teams in the 2nd half of the season**

8-4 will get you the Birmingham Bowl against Coastal Carolina, Duke, East Carolina, Cincinnati, etc. , about as exciting as "1 and done" in the 1st round I guess
The game has changed. These exorbitant salaries for both players and coaches, and renegade players brought in for one year in a time due to NIL have changed the landscape. Boosters and alums are prodded to give, give, give, and the only ROI is to win. There is no more "development period" or "down year" with the money being tossed around. Get it done now or get out is today's college sports mantra. Get it fixed Jans or get out. He makes too much money to not provide us with a competent team which right now we don't have.
His first team he had plenty of talent, he portaled zero talent. This team has Hubb and a bunch of mid major role players.
Exactly! Loyalty goes both ways nowadays. Player and coaches have loyalty to one thing only ….money and maybe winning for some. The days of feeling bad for letting a coach go quick are long gone. If you’re an AD or boosters, you make a move whenever it’s best for the program. These coaches know the landscape of the business these days. Yeah they’ll be pi**ed when it happens but I guarantee you they will be lined up and ready to sign up the next day.
That said, he’ll get next year to turn it around and bring in a new portal haul. But I don’t see it amounting to anything because he has no offensive style and already has a bad rap among players. Thats why he always has to take chances on guys with checkered pasts. We have plenty of money to give but it’s Jans schtick that’s getting in the way
You don’t run off a coach who previously had a 100% NCAAT hit rate for one down year. Not with our mediocre at best support for hoops. That’s a great way to bring back the Rick Ray era.
He will get the opportunity to fix it over the next year or two as he should.
State fans are just tired of shitee athletics
Plenty of talent on his first team? That team was one of the worst offensive teams in the country and still made the NCAAT.
Yeah that team had Tolu, DJ, Cam, Keyshawn, and Shak. He brought nothing to compliment them. Thats an objective fact and a consistent one every year.
There’s the rub. Doesn’t matter where he ranks in terms of highest paid coaches if we aren’t also paying for the players. It’s essentially money down the toilet. John Wooden himself couldn’t succeed in today’s game if you didn’t buy him an adequate roster.
What we’re seeing is the result of outsized spending on the football roster, O’Conner, and to a lesser extent….baseball portal players. Its a zero sum game, folks.
Murphy barely played that year because he was still recovering from being shot.
Tolu was a good player when he inherited them and remained a key presence the first two years.
The other three were extremely flawed role players under Howland that clearly got better under Jans. Cam Matthews specifically was terrible until Jans got here.
I think it’s very fair to be critical of his portal hauls but does deserve credit for developing some of those Howland guys to far better than they were previously.
I don’t think that’s an effective argument to the “one of the worst offensive teams” side of things. Tolu was the only guy that wouldn’t be considered below average offensively in that group of guys, and even he was very limited in terms of range and efficiency.
It's 90% of our fanbase. Everyone is just fine with losing because that's what we've done for 100 years. No one wants to step up and say no, we expect better now. Just a total loser fanbase except for their precious baseball program, which in the grand scheme of things is basically a club sport
MSU making the tournament three years in a row is success.
So it’s unacceptable to Dawgsandsaints. Now what?
Are you really comparing the Birmingham Bowl to two of the most exciting days on the annual sports calendar? Really?
