I don't see Wojo shaking up his coaching staff at this point. Certainly not midseason. If he did bring on someone new, there are a number of experienced coaches not named Jerry Wainwright who might be interested:

Brian Gregory
49 years old. 248-180 (.579) head coaching record at Dayton and Georgia Tech. Former assistant to Tom Izzo at Michigan State.

Ray McCallum
55 years old. 300-281 (.516) head coaching record at Detroit, Houston and Ball State. Former assistant at Wisconsin, Michigan and Oklahoma.


Bruiser Flint
51 years old. 331-289 (.534) head coaching record at Drexel and UMass. Former assistant to John Calipari at UMass and Coppin State.

Jim Crews
62 years old. 431-404 (.516) head coaching record at St. Louis, Army and Evansville. Former assistant to Bob Knight at Indiana.

Rob Jeter
47 years old. 184-170 (.520) head coaching record at UW-Milwaukee. Former assist to Wisconsin and Marquette.

Pete Gillen came to mind over the holiday

Man, do I miss the days of bitching about baseline out of bounds plays.

I'm not a WOJO apologist but the best coach in world can't will shots to go in or overcome the size issues of our roster which Michigan exploited in the first half of that game.  Comparisons to Buzz are ridiculous if you think about it given all of the players from that Era who made the NBA, several of whom are still on NBA rosters and big contributors.  The second it was apparent that Buzz wouldn't have that level of talent to work with for the forseeable future he bolted.  Can't really blame the guy for leaving when he did because if he had one more mediocre season like his last one at Marquette, it would have been that much harder for him to get another job and he wanted leave when his stock was still relatively high.  It was obvious to anyone that had he stayed an additional year, he would have struggled to to achieve his previous season's 17-15 record with who he had coming in so he up and left.  Who knows what WOJO  could do with Zar, Matthews, James, DJO, Jimmy, Crowder, or McNeal.........he's only had one player of that caliber who was here one year and that was his freshman year.  Now it's certainly possible that WOJO lacks the x/o substance many on this board claim, but until he's failed with the same caliber of players that Buzz had, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.  The way I see it, his recruiting is what needs improvement.
