Northern Iowa: Panthers Promote Jacobson



Panthers Promote Jacobson: A day after former Northern Iowa coach Greg McDermott left Cedar Falls to become Iowa State’s head coach, Panther officials named assistant coach Ben Jacobson the team’s new head coach. Jacobson worked under McDermott for six seasons, including the past five at Northern Iowa. He will earn $150,000 annually for five years, and his contract includes incentives for good performance. The Panthers have reached the NCAA Tournament three consecutive seasons, a high standard to follow.
