alrighty then. don't even have the resources to hire away the guy from Providence

Strange, new world for college coaching searches. Makes the Buzz & Jimbo hires even more impressive

Football and Basketball are different animals when it comes to needing to be in a power five conference though. If Michigan football was trying to hire away Providence's football coach it'd be a no-brainer for him. But basketball schools aren't kept out of the tournament the way non-power five football schools are. I think in the last 20 years there have been 18 non P5 basketball teams make the final 4. The resources necessary to become a competitive basketball school (regardless of conference) are a small fraction of what's required to be a P5 football school.

Thanks for explaining the differences between college basketball and college football

I have no doubt Juwan Howard will recruit well. Member of the Fab 5 at Michigan and an NBA champion. The only question is how good of a Head Coach he is since he has never been one. I'm sure he has great knowledge after a 10+ year NBA player and 8 as an NBA assistant, but that doesn't always transfer to a good game day coach.

Thanks for ignoring that my comments were made to directly address the mention that they "don't even have the resources to hire away the guy from Providence" and then introduced our hiring of Jimbo Fisher as a relatable event.

Juwan Howard is unproven, but I'd prefer him over Cooley. Big downside is how hard it can be to fire a fan favorite that isn't cutting it

So if Juwan Howard is picked to be coach at Michigan, which one of his other Fab 5 buddies does he get to be an assistant coach? Webber? Rose?

I would be surprised if Beilein would last over 2 seasons as the head coach there. Dan Gilbert is a hard sports owner to please.

Next Texas coach?

Beilein is 67 and owed $25-30mil? Is that right?

Maybe he just goes the way of another ex michigan coach and turns to a beach job like sdsu.

I can't see North Carolina hiring him this year. Roy Williams has the skins plus he is family. Unless something changes quickly in Austin, I bet Texas will make a run, despite his age. They couldn't even fill half of the building when the #1 team in the country comes to town.
