Not sure who he has been recruiting or how vital he is but looks like Jeter may be in for a short stint here.

It's a really bad job. Would not be good if he bailed, but there are job security risks if he stays here another year.

The only thing is that next year is going to be a big coaching domino year because nobody got axed this year. There could be tons of mid major jobs that open as mobility happens. Even if Pitino gets fired a guy like Jeter who has a good resume would be in demand.

agree with this fully. It isn't like its the win/loss record at MN that's the reason Jeter is attracting some head coaching buzz. Will be plenty of availability next year for a similar caliber job, so depends on what this one offers that he thinks he can't get next year (unless he just wants the head coaching gig now and wants to move on)
 

This sucks. We will need to find someone to run our defense. We’ve improved since he’s been here. Now Conroy leaving I could probably be ok with.
 


Of course, he may just be the target and that can come from Western Illinois and not him. I have to be honest, I don't really get it for many of the reasons above. He's a good coach who could get a job like that or better almost any time he wanted it.
 


Really like Rob. Some guys are simply better as assistants. He head coaching track has not been all that impressive. He is 51 though and time keeps running on being a head coach again. The UW MILW. JOB IS AVERY DIFFICULT ONE.. Western will be as well.
 

Pitino will need to pull off a near miracle to coach here beyond next season...Jeter will likely get at least a 3 year guaranteed contract vs one year here...follow the money...
 



We lose Jeter, we lose one of the better defensive specialist coaches around. Would be hard to avoid slipping on D next year unless they can find another defensive whiz on short notice.

Again, really like Rob and the hire but wondered what made you think he was a defensive specialist. His defenses as a head coach ranked as follows : 58,182,114,186,151,137,84,283,164,220,217.
 

A lot of love for Thoreson on a previous topic, anyone feel like he would be a good target if Jeter leaves?

He could’ve been on this staff before. He ain’t leaving Niko unless he wants a head job would be my thoughts.

Didn’t realize they were that bad. Always thought he had such a big role running the defense with Bo back in the day.
 


One I wonder about is Jared Nuness. Otherwise gotta search the market and think outside the box. Would be interesting to see who they come up with.
 

With Jeter leaving the Gophers need to add a person of color to the staff.
 


Every staff has and needs diversity bruh that’s all I am saying.,

I hear you loud and clear. As a multi ethnic human, is there actually any other kind ? I resent any decisions on hiring being based on the pigmentation of skin. Hire the best fit for coaching college basketball players at the U. Grateful for having a family that taught us to be the best person we could be, be thoughtful, be kind, get a education, help others and never take anything for free.
 

everyone is talking like this is a done deal.... is it official?

I guess I liked what I saw with my eyes: night-and-day better footwork and technique than in past years. Oturu stayed out of foul trouble, while Lynch was never able to.

The problem I saw was inconsistency, and the tenacity came and went. I really do think you need a coaching staff that insists on consistent effort, beyond just showing guys how it's done.

Makes me feel old. I saw Jeter play in college at UW-Platteville under Bo Ryan. In fact, I was standing and watching a game. Guy standing next to me had this huge ring. I realized it was Bob Jeter - Rob's dad and a member of the Packers' Super Bowl teams under Lombardi. Not a dude you would mess with.

Those were some incredible teams. Full-court press as vicious as any I've ever seen. other teams had trouble just getting the ball over half-court.

UWP would put on the press, get a steal and a quick fast-break basket, then do it again, and roll off a 10-point run in a heartbeat.

it was all up-tempo and pressure. Needless to say, not exactly the style Bo played by the time he got to Wisconsin.

That is interesting to hear after watching Wisconsin's burn offense all of those years. Bo did adjust though to his personnel, I looked up there KenPom on the 2014 and 2015 Final Four teams. Wisconsin offense was 4 and 1, in respective offense nationally. Defense was 35 in both years.
