Episode 980: Florida Atlantic head coach John Jakus

Marching to Madness

Coach John Jakus takes over the Owls after Dusty May moves to the head coaching seat at Michigan. Coach Jakus has an extensive background as a head coach overseas. He worked for three years under Coach Mark Few at Gonzaga before joining Scott Drew’s staff at Baylor. He was the associate head coach at Baylor for the last two seasons. An irony in his career is that he was on Drew’s staff when the Bears met the Bulldogs for the 2021 national championship. Coach Jakus looks to keep FAU’s transition game and three-point attack as a continuation of the Owls’ team identity.
