I'm voting that he took this massive contract from the cavs to get fired and retire, nothing else makes much sense.

Beilein is widely considered one of if not the only clean coach out there. I think there's a very good chance he just got tired of swimming upstream. Maybe he hoped the FBI stuff would change things, and the fact that it hasn't made him more amenable to an offer to leave.
 
At UConn, he hired Bob Diaco and Kevin Ollie

He had zero say in the KO hiring - JC hired KO as HC; McHugh and co. endorsed it hands down
Diaco - yeah that's on him

As far as Beilein is concerned - maybe he looks at the NBA as a challenge and feels physically and mentally up to it. Why not take the money and run with it. It's a huge chunk of change
I did not see this coming but the best to him
The UMichigan coaching decision process is going to be fun to watch - it's time for Warde to finally earn his money or be looking for a new job - probably the biggest decision in his lifetime to date - career wise

After asking Tom Izzy 9 times, Gregory found another number in Michigan.

Didn't he almost retire a few years ago?

He also almost took the pistons job last year, didn’t he?
 
Will awards be on the phone to a former UConn coach who led the Huskies to a National Championship in only his second year?

Manuel recently hired somebody as a "gymnastics consultant" who was directly tied to the Larry Nassar scandal. The fallout was so bad he was forced to fire that person. It doesn't appear that his judgment has improved at all since the disasterous Bobby Fiasco hire.
 
Wow, Michigan has like a top 5 team returning too. Who ever gets this job walks into a gold mine.

Which is why I’m guessing it’s Donovan.

Too good of a gig to pass up when his seat is hot

Should we start predicting which school Beilein will be coaching in 3 years? Or will he just retire after Cleveland fires him?

Leonard Hamilton pulled this off (college to pro and back) a few years ago. I think Beilein may be too old to reap all the benefits.
 
I lived with a Michigan alum for 18 months. Pretty good roomie 'cept during the games. He and his Michigan alum friends would go nuts during bball and fball games. They were happy with Beilein and that is before the recent national runners up. I am sure he has been thrilled recently. The Kentucky game a few years back...eh, not so much.

I once had an Arkansas roomie. Football season was brutal. Win or lose, the house got destroyed every game.

Maybe not on Michigan (although I think they were a contender for Bones), but will be interesting to watch the coaching carousel and see who shakes loose this time around.

Hopefully not danHurley...

Can Jim Calhoun be bought from St Joes? :D

Amazing a guy who I would think is stamped as a very good college coach but would never be on an NBA radar based on who he is, and he takes off. Some people can never make enough money I think polycom has it right above, why else?

At least they didn’t have a 5 year saga of hearing your coach is going to LA or OKC.
 
Helping Warde with the coaching search? Our old friend from Boston College, Gene DeFilippo.

Gonzaga fans are adamant that Few is also totally clean.

There's very few I'm confident in but Few definitely seems clean. He gets the occasional top recruit like Perkins but he mostly does very well finding international guys
