Chris Jans of New Mexico State is the man for the job. He was the top assistant at Wichita State and is given a lot of credit for the development of the players on their 2014 Final Four team. He went to Bowling Green in 2014 and turned them around in one year from 12-20 to 21-12. Then he did something stupid while drunk in a bar at the end of the season and was fired. In 2017 New Mexico State gave him a second chance. He lost virtually every last player via graduation and transfer from a 2016 team that went 28-6. With only one returning starter he lead NMSU to another 28-6 record. This year he lost his two best players to the NBA-D league and they went 30-4. They only lost to Kansas, albeit a weak Kansas, by 2 pts in Kansas City earlier this year. His teams play with passion, rebound hard, and know what they are doing. He is the REAL DEAL. I would absolutely hate to see him leave NMSU but seeing him go to Bama would make it alright. NMSU might very well lose to Auburn tomorrow but it won't be because they were outcoached but rather the talent advantage Auburn has and having a quality coach like Pearl. If you have access to the game watch the NMSU vs Grand Canyon game for the WAC title last week. In particular watch the second half and the speed and effort NMSU plays with.
