I agree DC, I actually don't see any of those MVC coaches as viable candidates for any P4 or P5 job unless they make at least an Elite 8 run.

You are probably right. It did work for Ben McCollum and Darian DeVries, and Josh Schertz got a nice boost in pay when he took the St. Louis job, though it wasn't a Power Conference team. But all of those were coming off stellar seasons and dominating the MVC and winning championships. Jacobson's Northern Iowa team has underachieved this year, and his best success is years in the past. His last NCAA bid was 10 years ago.
there have been some P-5 hires of coaches who never made an Elite Eight run
Keno Davis, John Groce, Ben McCollum, and Mizzou hired a mid-major guy who simply went 20-11 and lost in the first round of the NIT.
Some, like Bruce Weber who didn't make the Elite Eight at SIU, turned out to be pretty good hires.

Oregon State is firing their head coach Wayne Tinkle
One of Bradley's current recruits, Ryan Hunt - is pondering an offer from Oregon State plus one of Bradley's
former targets, Kahu Treacher - had already committed to Oregon State - so look for his recruitment to possibly open up.

Tinkle will be allowed to finish the season if he chooses.

Tarleton State (relatively new to DI - 2020) will dismiss Billy Gillispie at the end of the season
He was 92-89 overall at Tarleton State as members on the WAC. He was 25-10 in 2023-24 finishing 2nd in the WAC,
after being picked in the preseason to finish 6th, winning the WAC Coach of the Year Award.

sure enough Kahu Treacher has now DE-committed from Oregon State & is back on the board- LINK
Recall, he still has a Bradley offer and was one guy BU was targeting.... here's a couple former posts about him
Bradley offer-
2026 Kahuranaki Treacher- 6'9" forward from Hastings, Australia. He played this past season at Eastern Arizona College. As a freshman, he averaged 7.1 ppg and 3.9 rpg, and he shot 44.4% overall, and 36.6% from three.

Ko Kahurānaki Treacher tērā e tonoa ana kia hoki atu ki Āmerika hai whakakanohi i te kounga o ngā kaitākaro poitūkohu i ngā whare wānanga huri noa i Āmerika.
it's being reported that Saint Louis' Josh Schertz was contacted regarding the Kansas State job but declined
Ball State fires Michael Lewis after 3 straight losing seasons
After missing the MAC tournament and finishing 12-19, Ball State has fired coach Michael Lewis.
According to this PR from Ball State, it's not clear if Lewis was fired or he quit (says he "ended his stint"). In any event, he had two years left on his contract, so someone's gonna have to pony up.

Who Will Replace Rashon Burno at Northern Illinois?
Since Northern Illinois’ season is officially over, the Huskies, more or less, have come under our jurisdiction. When NIU announced its return to the Horizon League, one of the big question marks w…

Wasn't fired. His contract expired, or is due to expire soon, and wasn't renewed.
Several people on the NIU board have been clamoring, since last season, for Bryan Mullins, formerly of SIU. I don't know who, in their right mind, would take this job. I call it Chicago State West for a reason. It's a dead end job and only two head coaches in 50 or so years have gone onto other head coaching jobs. Jim Molinari went to Bradley after just two years at NIU, taking them to the Big Dance in his second year, and Mark Montgomery is currently at Detroit Mercy, but was an assistant for a few seasons in between after being fired at NIU.
I have my BS from NIU and have followed NIU hoops for more than 50 years. Except for a few seasons that can be counted on one hand, NIU men's hoops have sucked this entire time. They sucked when I was there. They are worse than embarrassing.
Knowing the AD, instead of hiring someone with successful head coaching experience, he'll hire some obscure assistant with none and with no meaningful contacts.
EDIT: Here's a quote from someone on the NIU board re: his ideas for NIU's next HC. Mullins' and Majkrzak's names appear in the horizoneroundtable.com article that braves16 posted above:
