Re: Next Gophers Men’s Basketball Coach
He'll coach again, but I don't think he'll be sought after following next year unless he make a surprising run in the tourney and becomes a 'hot candidate.'
As far as I'm concerned, he's a version Tim Miles, Fran McCafffery or Chris Collins and I don't think any of them are going to be widely sought after for meaningful jobs. Hearing rumors of other schools sniffing around does not equate to movement.

St Johns isn't hiring Pitino. They can do much better.

Yeah? Steve Lavin has been their best coach in last 20+ years.

Yes they have had some bad coaches, that's the point. Why hire another one that's 30 games under .500 in conference play.
He's a hair better than the lame duck coaches they have had recently.
St. Johns is still a much bigger destination than the Gophers.

They’re not getting a top tier coach. I think they would hire Pitino.

I agree they won't get one now. Most of the top candidates are gone. I liked Mullin there but he quit.ForCaleb wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2019 7:48 pmThey’re not getting a top tier coach.

I'll say this.. It won't be as good of a job as he has now. It will be a BIG downgrade.HeHateMe wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2019 5:11 pmBe more specific. You don't see him getting a power 5 /6 job or what?

Well, if Pitino really is an East coast kind of guy, it doesn't get much more East coast basketball than St John's in the heart of NYC. The heat is that they want Bobby Hurley though.

Re: Next Gophers Men’s Basketball Coach
He's spent most of his life in the Kentucky area or northeast (Dad was coaching the Celtics, Knicks etc), Pitino went to Providence and had some assistant gigs out there too I believe. I absolutely think he'd love to "head home" at some point.KevinBaconIsNotMyHero wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2019 9:16 pm Well, if Pitino really is an East coast kind of guy, it doesn't get much more East coast basketball than St John's in the heart of NYC.

This will be the best job Tiny Pitino (Love that one from my new friends over at the Razorbacks forum) will ever have.

Minnesota is one of the weaker power 5/6 jobs in the country... so I'm trying to get some perspective on your expectations.Sergeant Rubetube wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2019 9:15 pmIt won't be a job as good as Minnesota.

JB Bickerstaff will be the Gophers coach at this time next year. I’m calling it.

So would I, no question. But don’t see it happening. I think JB would be a rockstar coach in college basketball. Coached in the NBA, relatively young, and defense is his calling card.HeHateMe wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2019 4:42 pmI'd take him now.KevinBaconIsNotMyHero wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2019 4:18 pm JB Bickerstaff will be the Gophers coach at this time next year.

Craig Smith has to be the name to watch going into this year if things don't go well for the Gophers and Pitino.

Didn't want to start a new thread, but Beilein left Michigan to coach the Cavs and Jowan Howard replaced him.

Re: Next Gophers Men’s Basketball Coach
I'm assuming you just learned about that (not ripping you for it)… I think it was a great move for Michigan. I continue to think Pitino needs an assistant with local ties .. the area and/or to the U.
