2025-26 Coaching Carousel

This just is just funny. It's just an arms race, which booster can spend the most money. And which "reporter" can speculate the best. Have to imagine some of these guys are just throwing pickles at a window to see what sticks.
 
I am no great supporter of Warde Manuel. Might be the worst AD in UConn history and among the worst in the country. What I am tempted to say is he was monitoring the situation.

But in this case I think it is pretty unlikely he acted irresponsibly. You know 1 man’s irrefutable evidence can be seen as heresay by another. So if you get a report, you need to investigate and review the results. And in this case you need to be very sure you are right. You can’t ruin somebody’s reputation, career and life without something more than a rumor. Besides that, what does it get you to delay? Players can leave if the coach changes. And if I recall correctly, even if he signs a commitment letter a player can back out without penalty for some number of days. It extends further if the head coach leaves. So there is little to be gained by not moving quickly. Might even be in a better position if they had moved in October or November. There’ a very good chance they would have filled the position already with a name coach and be moving on.

Uhhh. Look up "Warde Manuel Scandal". It's been one after another in his regime. This isn't an isolate incident. And you saw the signs when he was here too.

You are right- the Michigan fans are throwing out a lot of wish list names. Kalen Deboer is another but a reliable source says…

He is a mess. My Michigan friends didn’t hi to pick the last coach. But there is an old saying, Never assume a conspiracy when something can be explained by plain old incompetence. I think the Monitor is incompetent.

I think it would be great if Michigan signed deBoer then Alabama stole Kiffin from LSU making him the first guy to screw 2 schools in the same year the LSU stole Smart from Georgia. People want. chaos give it to them.

Cut out the middle man. Kiffin to MIchigan will get it done for team chaos.

I hope each and every Big10 school flips every Michigan portal player and hs recruit to their program

Earlier this morning ESPN was rumoring that DeBoer had been linked to Michigan with the thought that if they lost the Iron Bowl he'd come available... that also allegedly was one of the hold ups on Kiffin to LSU... they speculated that perhaps if things go south and OU beats Bama (again) that might be the trigger.

Michigan fans and alumni have been calling for his head since Harbaugh scandals and Juwon Howard hire. I'm surpised they're going to let him make the coaching hire at all.
