Some of those names are ridiculous. Always interesting to see how programs regard themselves.

Wojo characterized as 'young and successful'.

Always good for the program to get positive PR. I hope his name becomes prominent in this search. This is an attractive job, so I expect a lot of quality prospects to be involved.

42 and pulling in a 7 figure income. I'd say that's young and successful. That said, if he's on Michigan's short list, it's a very long short list.

The success that they are referring to has nothing to do with his income. And you know that.

Of course. It was a joke, Fluffy. Sorry you missed that.

Whatever the article says, here are my honest comments: 1. Wojo has had successes and failures at Marquette. Way too early to designate his stay at MU as "successful". 2. No way Wojo is a candidate for Michigan. They would rather hire one of their own assistants than give Steve the job.

It was easy to miss. Jokes are usually funny.

Please feel free to take him

So I'll scratch your name from the comp list for when I open in Vegas next month. I had been hoping to see you (in costume, of course) but so it goes.

Lenny Gaga?

Lenny Gaga?

Gaga is opening for me - she needed the gig, happy to help.

As much as I would love watching Keefe's head explode, that would likely be a disaster for MU.

No way U of M hires Wojo. In fact, the word "Wojo" will never ever be mentioned inside the Fleming building.

Mark Schlissel is a gifted leader with a significant record of world-class accomplishment. He would never make such a pedestrian mistake.

My bet, and it's uninformed, is Michigan hires from within.

Go Blue!

Kinda like how average foreign colleges promote themselves...

Michigan is UM.

Thanks, TAMU.

Jonny has seen talent here on the west coast, he would know.

Thanks for posting that. As you know, Schlissel handled the Morris matter and Hoke tenure with great skill.

Interesting names.

Those listed who had no ties to either Michigan or Beilein were Stevens, Donovan, Wright, Beard, Bennett, Few, Barnes, Oats, Prohm, Wojo and White.

While it's easy to just dismiss Wojo, he's at least as likely (and probably moreso) than Wright, Beard, Bennett, Few and a couple other names on that list. As is usually the case, folks from the outside seem to have pretty high regard for our guy; we who are close to MU all have our biases, one way or another.

I don't know what Stevens thinks about college hoops -- would he like to go back to recruiting? would he leave a glamorous NBA franchise that should still have one of the best teams in the East next season (and might be better and certainly easier to coach w/o Kyrie? could Michigan beat his NBA salary? -- but he's certainly an intriguing possibility. Same with Donovan but more, because he makes a TON of money.

Like a few other Scoopers, I tend to think Michigan would stay in the family, but who knows how big a splash they want to make (and can afford to make)?

What average foreign colleges are you speaking about? Are you attempting to make me feel bad for going to get a master's at a damn good school?

Michigan thinking they can get Nova is ridiculous. Your constant unprovoked insults on here shows your character as a pathetic person with some deep seeded insecurities. I would imagine it doesn't stop here too, feel bad for your loved ones.
