Iffff we were to look for a coach who would be realistic targets?

Yes as fans we can relax. but this episode does not bode well on Warde at all and will get back at him some day.

Me too. Providence is looking out for us, and that’s nice to know…

According to Goodman, Izzo is breathing a huge sigh of relief right now. Funny how Michigan fans also are…

Eh, no one will care after he announces his choice. He’ll be judged by whether his pick works out. The judgment will be harsher if he passes on Juwan or Yak and they become a star HC.

This is just something to bitch about while waiting.

Goodman has been all over the place with his opinions on Michigan.

Yeah that Providence kid might have more connections than him at this point ha

You have to ignore these national guys with this type of stuff, Cooley is a VERY media friendly coach so of course they love him. All the objective things showed that Cooley was a poor fit for this job.

Oh absolutely. I laugh at their takes more than I take them as fact. Good to follow for a national perspective across all of college basketball, but not trustworthy whatsoever from a Michigan direct perspective.

I am not talking about fans at Michigan but this move definitely makes Warde a few new enemies

Has Tom Penders always been this much of a loose cannon? His Twitter feed makes him sound totally unhinged.

He is retired, no need to hold back all the cannon balls he collected over the years.

Probably not a great comparison. Thankfully, we don’t have to find out.

I’d like to think that Juwan could give Tom as much as he can handle on the Michigan recruiting trail. Roll up in the stretch with the entire Fab Five hanging out the windows, Sister Sledge blaring from the speakers. . .

How long does Izzo even plan to coach? He’s close to Beilein’s age.

Nail on the head

Yes, Penders was always his own personality.

If Cooley thought he was going to be offered the job he would be at UM.

Warde can’t win. Fans want a wide net cast, bitch about the qualifications of someone like Cooley, then when Warde decides the candidate isn’t deserving, thats an indication of him ā€œgetting played.ā€

I don’t think most people think Warde actually got played. But Warde can win by hiring the guy that will win the most games at Michigan. He can also buy himself some benefit of the doubt among the basketball mafia by treating basketball like a first class program at Michigan, alongside football.

Do you have any opinion of how Warde has handled this situation?
