GoodmanCBS Sources told CBSSports.com Illinois St. Tim Jankovich not only one in play with SMU & Larry Brown. Penn's Jerome Allen also in mix.

Are we going to have to deal with this every year assuming Jerome can keep winning? Would he even think about it at this point?

A chance to learn from Brown is a pretty huge opportunity. But it sounds like Jankovich is guaranteed the head coaching position when Brown leaves.
It does seem puzzling.

Leaving loyalty aside (and since when is that considered in college basketball), this would make a lot of sense for Jerome. He took one of the bottom 10 teams in the country to 20 wins in a year and a half and almost certainly will take a step back this year. To go be an assistant to Larry Brown for 2 years and then get a head job at SMU is his best track to the big time. I am assuming, of course, that he gets first assistant---a 2nd assistant's job is a non-starter.

I was wondering about that but was too lazy to look it up.

As I said, I think Jankovich is the coach in waiting, which would make Jerome second assistant.

I believe this report is suggesting that Allen and Jankovich are up for the same spot, which would be the first assistant spot.

Yes, I'm pretty sure what that means. It is ludicrous to suggest that Jerome should accept a 2nd assistant's position with SMU at this point. The other guy may have the first track, but I think Jerome is being considered only in lieu of his declining (or not being offered) the position.

Hey, I understand how you might argue that he hasn't proven anything yet. That's not the issue. What's at issue is whether he is more marketable right now than he might be in 2 or 3 years. To an outsider, his improvement of a team that has not had a major influx of new talent has to be seen as good coaching. So right now, he looks pretty good---this coming year will be a challenge. So if he thinking of going big time, this has to be something to be considered.
That being said, I would be shocked if he took the job, even if offered.

How is SMU big time?
How many years in the past 30 has SMU been better than Penn?

Well, team quality notwithstanding, they are moving to the Big East in 2013 which I think most would acknowledge as being a pretty big time basketball conference.

Without Syracuse, Pitt, WVU, and possibly others, they will not be as "big" as they were.

They're going to remain a top 3 conference, nationally. This isn't a no-brainer but, if the money's much better and he's actually the coach in waiting, it's a major opportunity for Jerome much earlier than would have otherwise been expected.

I really don't see how moving to a lower tier program, moving to assistant coach from head coach, and working for a 71 year old coach, notwithstanding the legend status, is a step up.

Probably not in the long term.
