The bottom line is there are a finite amount of jobs. But the why could be a multitude of reasons.
- First, he may have really liked his current spot and didn't want to leave yet. Maybe he wanted to build a resume so solid he could instantly get into a MM+ program?
- Second, he may have been considered for jobs he just didn't think were a big enough jump to uproot his family for. A quick Google search shows he had been considered for some other jobs in the past.
- Third, there is definitely gatekeeping and networking hurdles not just to the jobs but to levels themselves. Tying back into the finite number thing, this makes the six degrees of separation even smaller for potentials. You always hear that ADs want to hire their own guy, well it could be someone they've worked with in the past and it's why you see a lot of retreads.
Didn't Lansing's teams/players seem to have a lot of difficulty beating D-2 teams? I think so. There is some good talent at that level.

Mudville, isn't that North of Bargersville, IN or is Mudville close to Tipp City, OH?

Hmm --- believe those teams were like 15-0, 16-0; avg point spread was 16 points or so... i think Ind Central's Dogs gave them a close game one year, maybe NE Missouri State as well... wasn't Alaska-Anchorage ranked when the Trees beat them in the Shootout?
FYI, Lansing not having his contract renewed did not come as a shock. A source told CBS Sports Division II coach (Lincoln Memorial) Josh Schertz is on the cusp of becoming Indiana State's next coach. More rumours, I wonder who are some o the other top canidates for the job. ?
by the way was trying to find Schertz's current salary, at LMU, but I would assume coming from a d2 College, he most likely fits into the ISU athletic budget.
Its getting very interesting.
go blue, go sycmores, try to keep some of the core. players

other than Muller with the Deadbirds, are any Valley coaches on the hotseat? your scenario is at the bottom of my "list of concerns" in the Lansing-replacement plan
I just want to win ballgames, so I don’t really care what the score is. But, would be fun to see some scoring! In a Lansing fan, but I do feel kike this year’s team underperformed on the offensive end

Maybe he has an assistant with Indiana ties that enabled him to land a few Indiana players.

LMU basketball website for their schedule is pretty cool. Besides including the Box Score, Recap, History...for several of their games it also includes a Photo Gallery.
And I know it's all relative, but what school in any other NCAA Division is scoring 100, 102, 108, 109, 103, 106, and 117 points a game in 2021?

And for what it's worth, three of the players on this years LMU team, Xavier Bledsoe, Simon Wilbar and Cameron Henry were Two Star Verbal Commits players.

Kind of helter skelter play.....but I like it!!
His team moves on. I watched the 2nd half after getting done at the gym and they went ice cold in their half court offense but they weathered the storm and then used transition ball to walk away from the opponent and take the game.

I seem to remember when people on this board thought that hiring a D2 coach was beneath ISU. For what it's worth I think this will be a good hire.
If we're being honest, statistically speaking it doesn't work out. I am hoping like hell we'll buck the trend. I think the most successful D2 to D1 guy in the last decade is Darner and he's winning at 53% which is where Lansing was in a lesser conference. Unless I'm missing out on a big one, most of the ones I found are sub .500. I gave up after about 20-30 minutes of digging.
That said, when I was reading on Schertz, Belmont's old man Byrd was a head coach at LMU before Belmont so I'm taking that as a sign. Maybe it's LMU that is the key.
