If I was Alabama, I would definitely hire Ben Jacobson. He has never had a losing season and has been to the NCAA tourney 3 times. He has had Northern Iowa ranked in the top 20 all year this year after leading them to a 30-3 record. He would be the best choice of the mid major coaches, assuming that Shaka Smart and Gregg Marshall won't leave for Alabama.



Maybe, maybe not. There are a long list of Ben Jacobsons who got hired at P5 programs and proceeded to be fired 5 years later.

There's also lots that work pretty well. Bruce Pearl, Billy Donovan, and Mark Fox were all at mid-majors before getting hired by SEC programs. They have turned out well.
