That he is. Been training for the past 7 months already. He wants to go straight to the UFC. Good luck with that.

I think Pitino gets another year. Guard depth is his fault though despite what the ncaa did.

From Shooter today regarding Mr Jackson



Now 45, Jackson was at Target Center last week as player development coach for the Sacramento Kings, who were playing the Timberwolves. Jackson follows his alma mater Gophers closely.

“My honest critique? The Gophers are a good, young team, but I think they play too slow,” he said. “Especially for a young college team. I’d like to see them play faster, get up and down the floor, pick up full court, trap the ball. I want my guards to pick up 94 feet, get steals, push the tempo.

“But,” he added, “not everybody’s like me.”

For sure. As a Gopher, Jackson was omnipresent. In the NBA for Sacramento, he was popularly known as “Action Jackson.”

These days, his mission is to develop players.

“Helping them improve, but also helping myself improve,” he said. “I’d like to coach, be a head coach at some point in time. I wouldn’t rule out college. I’ve got my college degree.”

Coaching at Minnesota?

“Of course — it’s my alma mater,” he said.

If the criteria is on-court success, you can make an argument that Jackson’s jersey should hang in the rafters at Williams Arena.

But that’s unlikely to happen. There’s that 1999 academic fraud scandal under coach Clem Haskins that resulted in severe NCAA penalties for Minnesota. Jackson was a star player for Haskins.

“I would love that, to go up there in the rafters,” Jackson said. “But you’ve got to talk to the NCAA on that. Because of the academic scandal, that’s why they won’t retire it.

“But if not, I’m not mad or disappointed about it. I want what’s best for the university. I don’t hold grudges — that’s the thing about me — I move on, and I’ll always support the University of Minnesota.”

Bobby Jackson will never coach here. The Board of Regents with their sticks shoved straight up their asses will never allow that. Oh no, he didn't do his own homework!

Yeah, zero chance Jackson would get a gig here. It's nice to have the memories of 1997 but you get caught committing academic fraud at a non blue blood school and you're tarnished for life.

Pretty typical for climbing the NBA ranks. Scouting/player development for Wolves and Kings. He's been an assistant coach with two different Kings coaches. No time coaching college, so recruiting would be an unknown. MN would be the only place I could see him leaving the NBA for, but like I said, that's not happening.

Linardi still has the Gophers as a “first four bye”.

Does he not take into account remaining games left to play in his projections? (In the Gophers case PUR, @MARY)

Rumor out there that Pitino will potentially head to Boston College after the season.

Holberg to Nebraska is the hot rumor.

Hmm.. Wouldn't this be something if Richard was the one to leave us. :thinking:

I don't really like most candidates this year. I think if Richard stays, you give him the last year of his deal and see what he can do.

For the love of god Glen.... Keep the young Saunders boy away from the Gophers!

My guess is Richard would leave because he thinks he's gone.

Coincidence? Nate Oats signs a contract extension at Buffalo as rumors of Pitino to Boston College surface?

I feel like no matter what the Twolves and Gophers will always make the wrong coaching hire.

Were PJ Fleck or Bob Motzko or Lindsay Whalen the wrong hires?

I was referring to men's basketball. That is the subject, right? As for Fleck, 5-13 conference record doesn't make him a great hire.

Got it, I was referring to Coyle. I think he's 3/3 so far. Fleck took over a dumpster fire that was left here after Claeys didn't do much for recruiting and had numerous players kicked off the team.

I don't know enough about hockey on Motzko, but Fleck was THE hire, and Whalen was about the best hire for the program he could have made. Hopefully they both pan out, time will tell. But I believe those two to be correct.

Pitino isn't going anywhere though as far as replacing him this year.

Too early to tell, but Fleck appears to be a slightly better version of Brewster. Whalen started out great, but once they got to real competition, they fell off pretty quickly. I'd be interested to see what Whalen does with her own recruits for a few years, so I'll hold judgment on that one for a while. No idea who the other guy is, I'm assuming hockey?
