The rumors at the time was Warde didn’t do anything to lock Beilein up and give him the support he was looking for. Same with Bakich the baseball coach who left. It was also rumored that Wardes top coaching choice was Ed Cooley. When it got leaked there was backlash and he pivoted and hired Howard. Howard never adjusted to the admission requirements at Michigan. Had Shannon Jr and Caleb Love but admission credit issues cost him. He targeted talent but not talent that would make sense given the admission circumstances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsStoller Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 6 hours ago, Feathery said: Hahaha. Michigan fans want their AD fired and is generally viewed as being incompetent at his job. Their fans are split on Dusty being successful or not. But Warde Manuel has a track record at Michigan of being very slow at making decisions, see their hockey coach contract expiring and sitting on a report with no action for 6ish months before the media got it and he had to do something. He let their baseball coach go, his handling of sign stealing in football was not well received for not backing Harbaugh when the NCAA had the Big Ten come after him bc NCAA rule wasn’t technically broken. Well, then there's that. At least he made this decision, I guess? Yikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying he's necessarily a good fit for IU, but he's still young and smart. And are you a fan of Dusty? And if so why? I would take a handful of other coaches over him as well. He might be good, but IU needs more of a "savior" than a gamble hire. For Michigan if he's good, great. If not, no big deal for them. I just don't think IU can hire another flavor of the month type of guy. Edited March 25 by OGIUAndy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep misreading it as 'Dakich', and am at risk of losing my breakfast every time that happens. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know IU fans love Tracy Smith, Michigan fans are still questioning it to be honest. He was a success at IU but didn’t do well at his next stop. So there is skepticism. Year 1 was a .500 record.

That has nothing to do with it... Rose didn't take the SAT(he says he did, but all of the evidence says he didn't), which, at the time was required to be eligible...Memphis vacated their 30+ wins and FF appearance... I'm pretty sure there are still eligibility requirements...Ask Juwan Howard and the Michigan compliance department... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would never be hired in a million years. Do you truly think that would be the 'reason' IU would have no interest in Calipari? Or, are you willing to consider the fact that there could be multiple factors why he would not be hired, that are both beyond what you perceive his 'bigness' may be, and that those reasons have legitimacy behind them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HurryinHoosiers Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 (edited) 7 hours ago, Sea Turtle said: There is a real chance Calipari becomes available. It would be malpractice not to pursue him. Calimari is an average coach that used to be able to have a major advantage by buying players before NIL was a thing. Now that everyone is openly buying players, he lost his advantage. If we want the one coach that can do less than Woodson with more talent, then cal is the guy. Personally I would rather someone get more out of the team than the sum of their parts.
