OT: Michigan basketball coaching search is speeding up

[superjohn]

This can't be real. Well it is Warde Manuel, so who knows...

 

[JMick]

Big loss for providence and a lousy hire for Michigan. Not often can you say that

 

[whaler11]

I respect the PC program. I like Ed Cooley as a coach.

Warde Manuel is an all time clown show.

 

[polycom]

Is this $6M number real?

 

[HawkHusky]

Do they have any quality big commits?

Scary if true since we’ll have to pay Hurley even more if he starts winning. This seems like a weak hire by Michigan only because they are Michigan. One of the top brands in college athletics, a top 15 team each of the last couple of years, etc.... they’re hiring a quality coach but he’s not worth more than 3-4 million per year and he has done nothing other than make the tourney a few years. I’m mad right now if I’m a wolverine fan.

Some of the deepest pockets in all of college sports and have been tremendously successful the past few years, and the best they can do is Cooley? I don't think he's a bad coach, but it's certainly a bad hire

I wonder if they'll keep Luke Yaklich on staff. They say he's the mastermind of their defense.

 

[TRest]

It's a tough time of the year to find an immediate replacement. Beilein wasn't considered an elite hire, and he replaced Tommy Amaker.

This is not true its not a done deal. Per Zags Cooley at Big East meetings in Florida. Also, Warde is meeting with Juwan Howard today.

Probably saying his goodbyes

When in the post Dana Barros world did Boston College have it rolling.

I wonder if Cooley would have been Manual's choice for UConn if KO hadn't have been forced on him.

 

[UconnU]

Something had to happen behind the scenes with Beilein right? He just had his 2 best years, signed a contract extension, michigan was returning a great team and he leaves for the CAVS? at his age? who have no shot at being competitive for a few years. Something doesn’t add up. Any rumors as to what happened?

God bless this mess

Thats why the idea that they could get Donovan is simply absurd. This isn't as good a job as people, especially Michigan people, think.

If true this is good news. Keep northeast basketball competitive and set us up with a an on going series with Providence. Hurley-Cooley rivalry can continue!

He's crazy

 

[Mano]

That's dumb on Cooley's part. Even he must think he could do a better job with all the resources they have at Michigan.

Reading the rest of his tweets this guy is off his rocker.

Who? Kevin McNamara? He's been covering college hoops a long time and does a good job of it. He's definitely plugged in at PC.

No Tom Penders

Sounds like Warde's gonna hire a basketball coach with no head coaching experience again

 

[Robertelamin]

Warde is getting fired in roughly 3 years.

 

[FartMan69]

How did Warde stumble into that job anyway?
