Courant: Warde Manuel [front runner for] Michigan

[CTyankee]

Whether Ward has done a good job or not, he is going to do what is good for him. And if he takes the Michigan job he will be in a conference without uncertainty about its future.

1. He "hasn't done" anything
2. Please, no bad language on this site
3. Are you planning to follow him and be a Michigan fan?

Quote from Geno... I guess he disagrees with you too.

"I try not to get myself involved in all of that stuff. I wish I had a dollar for every idiot who thinks Warde is the reason we are not in the Power 5 (conference). You can't even find the words to describe how idiotic that is. My relationship with Warde professionally is as good if not better than any relationship I've ever had with any AD. My relationship with him personally is as good if not better than any relationship I've ever had with any AD.

"I think he's done a phenomenal job with the coaches where we were to where we are right now and he might still be our AD for the next 10 years. Whether it is the one people are talking about, Michigan, or some place else, he is always going to be in the news. His name is always going to be up there and we should hope that it is because that would mean he is really good at what we does and people want him. If we have an AD or coach that nobody wants than we should be thinking 'maybe this guy or this woman is not that good.' So to sit there and say we are disappointed if his name comes up ... I look at it as everybody has to do what's in the best interest for them, their family, their future, their careers and all the people that Warde is our AD should be happy if he stays and they should be happy if he goes. I personally really enjoy his company and really enjoy what he has meant to our program. Beyond that, this whole Power 5 stuff, people are out of their minds on a lot of this stuff. I wish people would understand that it is bigger than any of us."

Freakin' knee jerk stuff on WM. Let's see what he's not done.

We don't have a state of the art hoops practice facility. Check
We aren't upgrading hockey and its facilities. Check
He didn't fire tte old FB coach and hire a new one who's improved us. Check
He didn't throw his support behind the men's hoops coach forced on him. Check

We know that he is in the perfect position yet has done nothing to get us into a better conference even though he controls the P5 conferences. Check, because you say so because you stalk him.

Don't forget the gray basketball uniforms!
