Ben Jacobson

He seems to be flying under the radar during all of this coaching change hysteria. Think he could be Joe C's super double secret candidate?

 

[JustOkSooner701]

He has 8 or 9 years left on a contract paying him 485k a year.. I don't know the buyout but I guess its around 1.4 mill

He is a darkhorse for sure. Recruits St.Louis,Texas & Louisiana well

I have a feeling he could be targeted by Mizzou now. That is yet another problem for us. Even the scraps that are left will be tougher to get with Mizzou in the mix.

the Mcdermott factor (ie. not winning) at Iowa state may hurt his chances, I would be surprised if the casual fan would know who he is.....not that that matters in the long run, but its not selling any tickets if that is something OU is looking at

gottlieb endorsed him for the job yesterday...

 

[SoonerX]

I didn't look very long but couldn't find much about his style. Anyone provide something on this?

 

[boksooner]

He did beat KU, so he can't be all bad.

 

[seniorsooner]

He has been a head coach to UNI for 5 years now and was an assistant for 10+ gets before that. Much more experienced than Capel was

 

[IndySooner]

He's also beaten Kansas one more time than Capel has.

 

[HeismanWatch]

Mizzou will target Jacobson and Marshall as their next coach IMO.

 

[seniorsooner]

Yep. Good news Johnny Jones fans. We may end up with no other choice than he and Terry Evans. Advantage: Jones.

Posted on Marshall subject, per interview in KC, Missouri is interested in interviewing Jacobson for their opening (FWIW).
