    All Things Gophers Coaching Search Thread (rumors, tweets, tid-bits and more)

    Anyone want to start an NIL thread to discuss it more there? Rather than the coaching search thread, where people are looking for coaching news and throwing out names.

    That's because there won't be any news until CSU losses.

    Really that I have a team to root for the NCAA tourney. CSU is fun to watch, like the sophomores. Sign me up for Niko.

    Who do you think it'll be?

    Medved. He also has some good young players that could come with and play in the big 10. Kyan Evans looks like a stud. Excited to watch again tonight.

    They have some good sophomores that could come with. Add in Asuma, Eaglestaff, Terrance Brown, and a big and we'd have a pretty damn good team.

    New Coach Short List

    I don't think I want Muss Bus after his last two years. Maybe I am wrong but seems to be struggling to be successful.

    New Coach Short List

    I mean his record 4 years ago wasn't similar is the correct answer. He had never made a NCAA Tourney. He has made it 2 out of 3 years since and I think they sneak in this year since they are one of the hottest teams in CBB. As for little Richie. I'd like to imagine that he has made...

    I actually disagree with this. 4 years ago Niko hadn't made an NCAA tourney with CSU. He coached there 3 years and went from 12-20 to 20-8 with a NIT appearance. I felt he was unqualified at the time. Since then he has made the tourney 2 out of 3 years and possible again this year.

    New Coach Short List

    And he was ahead of TJ Otzelberger when he was at UNLV. Pitino was made for the NIL era and learned from his time here. I get the hesitancy (I was too but have been warming up to him the last couple of weeks). Probably helps that CSU is one of the hottest teams in CBB.

    Let's be honest. No matter who is hired there will be immediately a disaster thread created.

    New Coach Short List

    I am guessing it is going to be Medved. I am 100% okay with this. He has had success at CSU. He finds diamonds in the rough, and he has a good group of sophomores who could come along with him. I get we want splashy, but no matter who we get it will be exciting and better than what we had.

    New Coach Short List

    Ryan Saunders has a worse career win pct than Ben and has never coached in college... You would entertain that guy??? That would be like combining the hire of Pitino and Johnson. Hiring a guy because his dad was a great coach and has no experience. That would be a complete disaster.

    New Coach Short List

    Similar list, but I am not as high on Odom as others. Utah State and VCU are traditionally pretty decent basketball schools. We are not. Can he take a bad program and make them good? If that is the direction we go, I would definitely be all in though! I do agree we don't get past Niko. He has...

    Fire Ben Johnson

    Let the coach search begin!

    ESPN's Jeff Borzello: "As of time of publish, it seems Ben Johnson is likely to get another year at Minnesota."

    I think only Coyle knows if Ben will get another year. By all metrics he does not deserve another one. I do think the local media banging the Ben drum is something he is stirring up with them or they are doing for clicks. 75% confidence that Ben is fired within the next week. Whalen is more of...

    Five Guys On A Shortlist: If the U Decides Change Is Needed, Aim High & Don't Be Cheap With That Big Ten Cash

    The Pitino stat of making the tournament for the Gophers 2 out of 3 total times over the last 15 years is misleading. He coached here for 8 years. 4 of those other years have been coached by the worst coach in our history. The other 3 years were by Tubby Smith who was battling cancer for 2 of...

    2025 Transfer Portal Watch

    I'd take Eaglestaff next year. You almost have to based on that name. Can you imagine if we hire Josh Schertz and Robbie Avila comes with him. We'd have the most unathletic looking stars of all time with Eaglestaff and Avila. Terrance Brown Jr would be another good target!

    Scoggins: Word is Mark Coyle wants to build Gophers men’s basketball. What does it mean for Ben Johnson?

    Picked last due to his previous 2 years. With the amount of transfers and changeover on teams nowadays, media picks based on coaches previous body of work. If Ben is back next year, regardless of our transfers we will be picked bottom 3 in the Big 10. IMO that is a big reason half the...

    Fire Ben Johnson

    My problem with Saunders is how bad he was as the Wolves coach (actually pretty similar situation to Ben with the Gophers). Both very inexperienced and got the job due to organizational ties. Neither had much success. Neither were ready for the job when they got it.
