To be honest out of the 4 candidates on the list in that article, outside of Jeff Long Warde is the next most qualified candidate. IMHO they will offer the job to Long and if he decides to stay at Arkansas then Warde will be next up...and out the door back to his Alma Mater.

I agree that's how it will go. Bates I don't see as a serious candidate, he's done terribly at BC. Warde has done well here, but I agree it would not be a disaster if he left - but we would absolutely have to make the right hire. Having another ally at one of the most influential B1G schools and a solid replacement at UConn would be a good trade.
 
I'm sorry, I can't leave UConn until I get them in the P5. Wink wink cough cough

As a white man with a Hispanic last name ...Interestingly I received mail every other day from the Puerto Rican Latin American Cultural Center to join them for events.

My family has been Catholic for at least 6 generations from what I know of; but, with my last name, I have been invited to join the local Synagogue every time I move. Sticking Catholic primarily because the Church has better food (Italian) than the Synagogue.

Right. The only two choices are Manuel and one of the worst AD's in the last 10 years. Got it.

Did I say that? Maybe my words appear differently on your screen than on any other screen on the planet. Did you buy yours at Sam's Club? Is it too late to return it? If not, I would hurry up to get my money back If I were you. Of course, If I were you I would just shut the hell up sometimes (and I generally like your posts).

The more I think about it, the more I think Warde is the right choice for Michigan. He knows the lay of the land, he was a freshman on the football team when Harbaugh was a senior, he's made good coaching hires at UConn, athlete academic performance has improved at UConn, he is an experienced AD and was named Under Armour AD of the year, and he is a good guy. Clearly, he is a better choice than Brad Bates at BC as he has accomplished more in his career and he has more experience in the athletic department at Michigan.

Very little inside info out from the Michigan side. Most speculate that Warde is the likely choice, but nothing concrete. There is a faction that really likes Colorado St AD Joe Parker. He is a Michigan alumnus and has worked in the Michigan AD previously. He is thought to be an up and comer in the business. Obviously, Jeff Long is thought highly of, but will be hard to pry away from Arkansas.

Long hired Bielema, that will come home at some point. He'd jump at an offer in a hot minute. It's Michigan.

Hiring a connected alumnus from Colorado St to be one's new AD has always proven to be a good strategy, right? Just one word, Hathaway.

I have heard Long as the top choice. Just look at the athletic budgets of the two schools and tell me what the better job is.

Having Warde pulling and Pernetti pushing for the B1G would be helpful. Michigan also searching for a Defensive Coordinator.

Once Warde is gone, he will not be thinking about UConn anymore.

That loser Ward Manual just got UConn Hockey on both SNY and NESN.

I'll sure be glad when he's gone and stops signing deals to increase out exposure in key markets.

Sorry to say this, but he's the guy I want for Michigan's new AD.

I think Warde is at the top of the list at the moment. Lots of chatter.

Although there could be a dark horse out there that could change the race. Somebody like Oliver Luck could toss his hat in the ring and make it a toss up.

Over Long?
 
According to my sources ;) there isn't a high level of interest in either direction with Long. Nothing confirmed, just sources repeating what their sources heard at the car wash.

He will not forget the opportunity Susan gave him, he's to much of a professional for that. Conversely, Susan will not LET him forget the opportunity she gave him! She's to good at her job for that!!!! It will work out in the end....

Jurich was at Colorado State before Louisville; and he is one of the movers in the industry.

I'd hate to lose Warde, but if has to be, can we work out a deal? Warde and an assistant AD to be named later to the B1G in exchange for an invite?
 
Schlissel plans to emphasize campus input in AD search
https://www.michigandaily.com/section/news/schlissel-interview

>>In an exclusive meeting with The Michigan Daily Monday afternoon, University President Mark Schlissel discussed the search for a new athletic director. Schlissel noted that campus outreach and input will be a large factor of the search process. He said he intends to meet with a number of governing bodies — including Central Student Government, the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and the Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs, as well as individual coaches and members of the Athletic Department’s staff, to evaluate what University constituents want most out of the new director. While gauging campus needs, Schlissel has also begun to independently develop a broad set of criteria. He is looking for “someone who gets the cultural aspects” — “a person of unquestioned integrity” who is capable of both upholding the University’s athletic excellence while also placing an emphasis on the “student” portion of “student-athlete.” “I’m looking for an athletic director that sort of gets it, that understands that athletics is a part of the University,” he said. “It’s not separate from the University; it exists to help build the community here, and to represent us, and to keep our alumni attached to the University, to develop student spirit, to give folks who care about athletics an outlet to either participate or, more often, to watch and cheer. -Michael Sugerman, The Michigan Daily<<
