A lot to unpack here on a Monday morning.
Pros: Opportunity for an up and coming coach to make a mark. (Is it Tuttle time?!?)
Cons: This is a major blow to the MVC and what this signals for the future.
Sources: Utah State and Northern Iowa coach Ben Jaconson are finalizing a five-year deal to make him the school’s next coach, per me and @jeffborzello. Jacobson won 397 games over 20 seasons at Northern Iowa, including five NCAA appearances.
