The Heartland conference in D2 Iba is consistently one of the top 2 conferences in D2 Iba, and we have 3 rare openings this offseason. One is a top program that is in position to compete for a title now, another is in pretty darn good shape and should be a NT team right away and the 3rd is a great rebuild opportunity. We will have a ton of postseason money (in D2 terms) to help with recruiting too.
First is
Oklahoma Panhandle St. (

motion offense and
fullcourt press defense. OPSU will have 4 scholarships open this season and it returns a number of very, very good players.
Second is
Rockhurst (
http://www.whatifsports.com/hd/TeamProfile/Ratings.aspx?tid=6280). Rockhurst is a C+ program, but the talent level is better than that. Rockhurst also runs a
motion offense and
fullcourt press defense. Rockhurst will have 3 scholarships open this season.
Third is
West Florida (
http://www.whatifsports.com/hd/TeamProfile/IQ.aspx?tid=6286). West Florida is a C- program and is definitely in need of a rebuild, but I've done these and they can be a lot of fun. West Florida runs a
motion offense and a
man-to-man defense. To help with the rebuild, West Florida will have 5 open scholarships. The team is also in a pretty good area for recruiting.
Check these programs out. As an added bonus, taking one of these jobs will get you into a very fun conference challenge, the CVAC-Heartland Challenge, that is played every season.
