No details here, but interesting news that Manuel has a head start in the coaching search.

Dot has a list and Iāll just say lets pray to god heās wrong
Yeah if that is the list, then just go with Yaklich.
Iād rather have Yaklich than Moser. Heās a one hit wonder.
The will be a very serious test of Wardeās hiring acumen.
absolutely yaklich and program continuity over all of those guys by far IMO
Unless it is a homerun, talking Donovan type, Iād go with Yakluch and let this be his job.
Funny to hear a fan base that clamored for RichRod to replace Coach Carr, now playing the ādirty coachā card in the basketball coaching search
I wouldnāt mind Michigan hiring White from Florida personally if we canāt land one of the true BIG fish being named.
I agree. Heās a solid coach I think.
Rich Rod wasnāt this type of dirty

White is the only non-big name circulating that sounds better than promoting from within.
Thatās probably a good candidate. Not great but who knows?
Big NOPE on Penny. I donāt doubt heāll win at Memphis but I donāt think heās a cultural fit at Michigan.
I think a lot of interesting names will be in play for Michigan. Just a matter of who the Athletic Department prioritizes. āWorst Case Scenarioā sounds like LaVall Jordan or Luke Yaklich ā which are both pretty solid options, in my opinion.
I mean for me I expect Michigan to make a big name hire. Manuel needs to for his own jobās sake. Donavan, Stevens, Jay Wright, Bennett and Beard would likely be the group in the BIG fish market.
White isnāt in that group but heās still a good one. Recruits at a higher level than Beilein, has had decent success over the years in the shadow of what Donavan did there, and heās defensive minded which means heād probably be a decent fit on paper to coach in the BIG. Heād be a good one. Obviously landing one of the bigger names would be preferred but White would be a good option too. Cheap contract for Michigan so i think heās definitely obtainable. And from what I gathered talking with recruits regarding White, they really like him.

I guess we can agree to disagree.
This Is a pretty good group and largely what I had in mind. I donāt necessarily think some of the guys in the latter groups are people I want, but thatās a decent pool to pick from.

I really like the idea of Brey, if we can keep Yak.
Isnāt Brey a defense guy? Besides, if we remove our maize tinted lenses what are we offering that ND canāt other than recent success?
