That's my pick also.Originally posted by Toyota12 View Post -
I think he could be very successful. I like the Wisconsin ties. I would be happy with the hire.
Why a new thread for every post?
There are plenty of who will be the coach and rumor threads already.Comment

I really like the ties to Bo Ryan for like 11 years and 6 years as head coach... Stability in the coaching resume and he grew up in Chicago and has decent coaching record also... What is not to like about this guy?Comment

He makes a lot of sense. If I were in charge he'd definitely be on the short list, but of course, I'm not in charge so who knows?Comment

Message Board
Their message board is all over this rumor and they are not very happy!! They say it would be a lateral move but one guy says he biggest complaint at the school has been facilities...They also do not think BU has the money to hire him and buy out the JL contract...It is funny how all fans look at their school and conference and defend it to the end i love the loyalty...Comment

That's a little weird to me. I went up to the game we played up there a couple of years ago and ended up partying with a bunch of their fans after the game. GREAT GUYS, all of them... And the thing I'll never forget is how all of the fans I talked to were practically in awe of the Bradley program and the MVC in general. They were even really high on Les (which surprised the heck out of me)... All this after they finished beating us like a drum. Made me realize all but a handful of programs have somebody to look up to. Of course, times have changed a bit I guess.Originally posted by Toyota12 View PostComment

He is exactly what we are looking for, very successful as a head coach and recruits great players, BU needs to offer him a contract as he is a perfect fit.Originally posted by Toyota12 View PostComment

The more I learn about Jeter the more I am impressed. I would not be disappointed with this hire!Comment

Very Successful? He has finished above 4th (the measuring stick everyone wants to wave) with his own players once. Do I think it would be a bad hire? No. But IMO, it's not a hire you make if you release a (despite what you'd be lead to believe here) popular head coach who had some great recruits and returning players coming back... If we had lost our coach to retirement or coach moving up, not so bad. But after firing a coach that had success, I'd like to think we'd make an impact hire. I wouldn't be entirely frustrated if (when) we hire him, but I won't be excited either.Originally posted by real fan View PostComment

Glad to see the positive response from folks..
Not sure if he is the guy or not...
But seems like a good get...
Isnt going to excite the masses over the short term...But long term, can do good things.Comment

I agree with amckillip on this one. He would not be a bad choice/may very well be a very good coach at BU but I really don't see why we would go on this voyage to swap JL for Jeter. There is a high cost involved and I don't really see much of (any?) upgrade.
I'd support him if he is named but I really don't like the cost/benefit on this one.houstonbraveComment

He has done nothing with his own players.Comment

No, Lowery has done nothing with his own players, and SIU fans would be thrilled if he made a "lateral" move to another school.Originally posted by bu fan 9 View Post
UWM fans seem to be disappointed Jeter may leave.
I think he would be a decent hire, Bo Ryan tree with decent HC results. I think Sydney may be a better choice, but I do like Jeter overall better than Fife or Howard..Comment

I can see who ever we hire it will be crititsized no matter who it is!! I think this guy has done very well at a mid-major with no facilities or money to speak of in a conference we say is lower than the valley...I will ask you this question how well have we done against the horizon league in the JL era? I really do not know that answer but it does not seem to me that it has been great job!! But i did not do the research only speculation!! You say he hasn't finished better than fourth with his players.. So what!!! He still had to coach X's and O'S..Take a look at this from his BIO.... After starting his head coaching career with a league title and an NCAA Tournament win, Jeter has rebuilt the Milwaukee roster back into a league-championship contender. He has increased the number of wins in each of the last three seasons and, this past year, directed the Panthers to just the 10th 20-win season in school history.
In fact, the 20 wins this past year are tied for the sixth-most in school history. This was also the second 20-win season in five years under Jeter, making him one of just three coaches in school history to direct two different teams to 20-win campaigns. Plus, Jeter has now moved to 82 career wins, the fifth-most wins by a coach in school history.
Jeter started his head coaching career with a bang. He led his team to its third-straight Horizon League regular season title, its second-straight league tournament crown and its second-straight berth in the NCAA Tournament in 2005-06. Once in the tourney, Jeter guided the Panthers to a first-round win over Oklahoma before UWM was eliminated by eventual national champion Florida in the second round in Jacksonville. This year a birth into the NITComment
