Ben Jacobson – Northern Iowa

I didn’t say anything about just players to know, so why not talk about the coach who will be linked to every major job this offseason. Jacobson is in his ninth season with the Panthers and has never had a losing season while compiling a 196-104 overall record.

If you’re a fan of a team like Texas, who could possibly fire Rick Barnes if the Longhorns lose early, just keep an eye out for Jacobson making the type of move.
