Btw, Dan Gilbert is an MSU alum and huge fan, so that adds a little extra to this.

Mike Gansey who is high up in the Cavs front office played for Beilein at West Virginia. Probably had a lot to do with this.prh wrote:Btw, Dan Gilbert is an MSU alum and huge fan, so that adds a little extra to this.
If I’m the search committee for Michigan, I’m calling Mike Brey, Tony Bennett, Gregg Marshall, Wojo, and Chris Collins. Probably in that order.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

Brey (maybe), Bennett (no chance), Marshall (maybe), Wojo (he'd come in a heartbeat), and I can't see them hiring Collins.Chicat wrote:Mike Gansey who is high up in the Cavs front office played for Beilein at West Virginia.

To answer my own post - Beilein couldn't top Harbaugh: https://971theticket.radio.com/articles ... m-harbaugh" target="_blankCatsbyAZ wrote:
Along with speculating who Michigan targets for Beilein's replacement, anyone mind guessing why Beilein left in the first place?
"97.1 The Ticket host Mike Valenti tried to explain why Beilein would suddenly leave the team he built into a powerhouse.
And he cast his eyes directly at University of Michigan head football coach Jim Harbaugh -- lover of khakis, grand gestures, inspirational sayings and the white-hot glare of the spotlight.
"I think he was very frustrated the last couple of years," Valenti said about Beilein. "I mean, coaching at Michigan as the basketball coach is a huge challenge especially with Harbaugh there because he takes all the air."

Re: Coaching Searches 2019
I’d stay forever at Michigan with Harbaugh sucking up all the air in the room. If you have a down year, who is going to give a shit if football didn’t get to the Playoff again and Harbaugh’s hosting sleepovers and being his wacky self?

Re: Coaching Searches 2019
Exactly. And say what you will about UM's hoops support, but having been to several home games in Ann Arbor, I can tell you that they give robust support for that team. It will *never* be the same as football. I imagine OSU has the same issue. But generally speaking, Big 10 fans are awesome. The Michigan men's hoops job is a *fantastic* job. Excellent university, great college town, and tons of support from alums, admins, and current students. Not only that, but they've shown recently that they can get to the FF.Chicat wrote:I’d stay forever at Michigan with Harbaugh sucking up all the air in the room.

I would be very surprised, though, if the next guy does as well as Beilein. He's a once in a generation coach.
Re: Coaching Searches 2019
My thoughts too - Michigan is more likely to return to the 22 wins/seasons, Tommy Amaker bubble.Beachcat97 wrote:

Re: Coaching Searches 2019
I would be PISSED as a Michigan fan if they hire Hurley. What exactly has Hurley done to warrant consideration for a better D1 job? Juwan Howard is a better (still not great) hire, and Donovan isn't happening.

He’s one of the better respected assistants in the NBA.

Re: Coaching Searches 2019
Is Billy Donovan even considering going back to coach college?

In this bigger picture of College basketball coaching searches going through a fad of experimenting with hiring flashy NBA names regardless of what they’ve proved, if anything, from the sideline - Ewing at GTown, Hardaway at Memphis, Stackhouse at Vandy, and now with Howard at Michigan, the surprise is that it’s Michigan succumbing to this fad. Michigan comes across too grounded and traditionally minded to get caught up in fads like this.

Idaho fires coach "after he was placed on administrative leave following a consultant's report that found potential NCAA violations."
"Verlin was 177-176 in 11 seasons at Idaho" - wow they kept him aboard for 11 years of mediocrity? That's worse than Ole Tad Boy.

Fired on his day off.
That sucks, even won his last game.

Grand Canyon University fires Dan Majerle as men's basketball coach

They should have kept Russ Pennell. His last 2 seasons were better than Majerle's.

Re: Coaching Searches 2019
Not sure if there are any openings anywhere for Donovan in college, especially when they have to fire their current coach, buy him out, and then come up with the dough for Donovan. UA certainly can't even afford to get rid of Sumlin, even with a possible 0-10 season.

Donovan isn't leaving the NBA. The Sixers, Bulls, Pacers, and Pelicans will be knocking down his door with a truck full of cash.

Re: Coaching Searches 2019
I'm not sure why any NBA coach would head back to college and have to deal with extreme grind of recruiting, along with all the incessant NCAA rules you have to deal with.

Re: Coaching Searches 2019
I'm also not sure why college coaches are so eager to get to the NBA. It's a system where you're hired to be fired.

Yeah. Donovan would have to fail pretty spectacularly at his next pro job to come back to college. Same with Stevens.

That Bulls roster leaves a lot to be desired. Lavine and Lauri are a nice start, but they're missing pieces.Chicat wrote:Donovan to the Bulls.Chicat wrote:Donovan isn't leaving the NBA. The Sixers, Bulls, Pacers, and Pelicans will be knocking down his door with a truck full of cash.
It's impressive what Donovan did in his first pro job, but unless Chicago lands Giannis or some other superstar in the next couple years, it's hard to see them surpassing Boston, Milwaukee, Toronto and now Miami.

Kris Dunn is in the last year of his rookie contract and has already been surpassed by Coby White. Denzel Valentine is in the last year of his deal and I doubt they re-sign him. Otto Porter Jr. has one year left on his (really stupid) deal, but he's pretty good and could be a trade piece for a similarly overpaid small forward.
They've got some room to maneuver and the #4 pick in the upcoming draft. Personally, I think they should trade the pick and Porter for a proven SF like Gordon Haywood.
