Jeter's performance as an executive will have zero impact on his long-term popularity, IMO. If such was the case, Michael Jordan's popularity would have plummeted by now based on his lack of success as an executive. The list of superstar players who have failed as managers is long, and it doesn't hurt their standing as players.
