Will Wade has angered a lot of NC State fans by leaving after just 1 year to take the LSU job.
But he started out upsetting some fans when he re-enacted a famous photo of NC State icon Jim Valvano, on the court named for Valvano last year- www.x.com/801bracketology/status/2036845307812880886

I did not see that one coming-I thought (hoped) he was a lifer. Ben will have to expand his recruiting reach which only ever seemed to stretch to Minneapolis from Cedar Falls. Good coach-just a wild jump.

There is speculation that it will be Seth Tuttle, assistant coach there.
Kyle Green, who spent 16 seasons at UNI as an assistant coach and associate head coach under Jacobson (father of former MVC POY AJ Green) might be another consideration. He left UNI in 2021 to to take an assistant coaching position at Iowa State. He has been a head coach at 3 different Division II schools in his past, but never at Division I.

There have been reports that he had turned down consideration for Power-5 jobs in the past, and now he's bolting UNI for
another mid-major job? What gives? Is there something ominous going on at UNI?
Could it be severe budget issues?
Could it be they are asking Jacobson to take a pay cut because of serious budget shortfalls?
Or tired of going to the NCAA Tourney only once every decade then getting annihilated in their first round game?
Or is it just the money, as usual? He's already making a cool million per year but Utah State was paying $1.8 mil...

Just one other thought:
How about that he had the same job for 20 years and maybe just wanted to do something different? He could have left countless times if he was just about the money. Everyone is so jaded to think that every decision that every player and coach makes is solely about the money.
I mean Utah is beautiful and the campus is not crazy far from SLC.

facts and experience tell us it's hardly "jaded" - it's pretty much the reality of it 95% of the time.
I suppose Casey Alexander just wanted to view the majestic scenery of Manhattan Kansas...
