Strength and Conditioning Coach, Men's Basketball

[Hutch89 2,939]

If I remember correctly, Je'Ney had played a major role in Juwan's decision to come to IU.  

 

I hope he isn't leaving. and if it's for Louisville..... heads will roll.

Hopefully it's just an added position and Je'ney isn't actually leaving.

One thing I've heard from an actual insider, is that Crean is a complete control freak to work for. We've seen some guys bail out on him. I hope that isn't the case here. And im being serious. I've heard Crean even controls what songs the Band can play during a game.

What coach isn't a control freak? We have heard how demanding Crean is to play for and work for. Nothing really new.

I'd rather hear that than hearing that Crean is totally lax about everything, coaches/players select when they come in to workout and he has no structure within the program.  

 

As far as the position it could mean Jackson is moving on.  Remember that he came from a football background and he may have gotten an opportunity to take over with a football program.  This is all speculation but I am also sure that if the goal is to work in strength and conditioning football is the ultimate goal.

 

I am sure we will find another great coach for this position.

I thought the assistant strength coach left during the off season, maybe that is the position that is being referred to.

[mchenry34 107]

I don't see them posting the position if it is Jackson without there having been any news or announcements.

As many of you know, Coach Jackson has been an integral part of the development of our players and program. Really hoping it's just an added position.

Like I said, thats just what I "heard." Doesn't make it 100% true.

Like I said, thats just what I "heard." Doesn't make it 100% true.

Having family and friends who work in the department the consensus among them is that Crean is very demanding from all staff workers while being quite unorganized and unclear with his expectations. That can make for a tough work environment.

If JJ is leaving midseason, my hope is that it's to a big time FB program...which would make the timing make more sense. Leaving in the middle of the season for another BB program would be a punch in the gut.

Here's to hoping the job posted is a new position to go along with CJJ!

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

Pegram is reporting that JJ is going back to Kansas, to work both FB & BB programs.

[hoosierinIll 335]

Peegs just reported JeNay to Kansas...crap!

[FKfootball 1,046]

I figured he would leave eventually. Nothing good lasts around here for too long. Haha.

Dont want to see Jackson leave, but is it a big loss if he does? Ive heard all this hype about how great he is but honestly over the last few years and with the exception of Yogi I dont see our guys matching up physically or having the stamina as alot of top programs. We've been manhandled by the likes of Syracuse, Louisville, UK, Wisky ect. I agree a mid season change would be odd.

What? This is just simply false.

Ask Cody, C-Wat and all the other players what they thought of Je'Ney. The guy is a great one. On top of that, he has been an important piece of the puzzle in the off season as he has had and still does (unless the rule changed) more access and contact with the players than the other coaches.

Well yea, what would you expect them to say? Heard the same when big Kenny left. These guys can be replaced and the new guy will be an important piece in the off season as well.
