No nerve touched. Another stellar post on your part.

Beilein was from outside of the "family." Basketball doesn't have the same "it has to be a Michigan Man" delusion that football does (maybe since they aren't hanging on to their glory days that are long gone).

If they were to really stay within 'the family" with a qualified hire then Brian Dutcher would be the guy, but as we know that isn't going to happen considering his ties to the Ed Martin scandal.  Jordan was briefly an assistant there and didn't play there. Maybe Saddi Washington? Again though, he didn't play there.

Michigan football is very relevant today.

A top 10 finish last year and a Top 10 preseason ranking today suggests they are very much in the discussion.

Even though Michigan is the winningest program in the history of the sport, I am not one who thinks Michigan needs to win it all. I love the team, the home field, the tradition. There is no finer place on earth than Ann Arbor on a Saturday in October. Michigan alumni understand this.

Go Blue!

Not to commingle posts but Jon would pick his nose to show you his class ring.

I have three alma maters but two class rings.

One from one of the oldest colleges in America. The other from Marquette.

When I wear one it is almost always the Marquette signet. And I wear it with pride.

Sorry if i touched a nerve, Im guessing ur an underacheiver ??

Keep up the good posting. We need more guys like you who see the big picture for what it is and less out and out slurpers.

Living on the east coast was fun. I used to ask Michigan grads "so how many Ivy's rejected to make you go to U of M?" They'd usually say that they only applied to every Ivy school because their moms made them, then start crying.  At least those who went to Wisconsin admitted it was because Madison was "an awesome party town" and didn't try to pretend they could have gone to an Ivy, NESCAC, Duke, Northwestern, UVA, Wash U, etc.

Yea, but I did go to Harvard. So what's your point?

Is matriculating from Harvard the moral equivalent of working for, say, Columbia?

You will miss a lot of good stuff between now and then. Recruiting, the foreign trip etc.

Pfft. Sounds like something a graduate of an inferior university might say.

How do you know if someone went to Harvard? Don't worry, they'll tell you.

And when is the last time Michigan football won something of consequence?

Now, back to talking about coaching changes.

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

But how?  I don't get it. How could I have watched so many pac 12 games?   It just doesn't make sense.

[Shooter McGavin]

Not really.  Most Harvard grads I know don't talk about it a lot.  They went to undergrad there though and when you do that it's the equivalent of "old money".  You don't have to say anything, you just know you are rich.  Grad school people tend to brag.  They are the equivalent of "new money".  They wear it on their sleeve or their finger to feel like they are in a club they are really not in.

I agree with this analysis.

Well this thread has nothing to do with the topic. Suppose other than the Recruiting & NM, that's par for the course.

Brendan Quinn from The Athletic lists florida's Mike White as the likely top candidate for Michigan, Wojo, Steve Prohm and Mike Brey in the next group. Also says Juwan Howard would draw interest if he wants to leave the NBA for college.

Goodman reported that both White and Brey aren't interested. I just can't see Howard being a legitimate candidate because A) he has no college coaching experience, B) he has no head coaching experience and C) he was a member of the Fab Five and some in Ann Arbor are still spooked by any connections to that group and their history.

"Media speculation on the candidates is laughable. For example:  As for potential candidates Michigan may consider, The Sporting News' Mike DeCourcy came out with a list on Monday detailing where the program may turn. Former Florida coach Billy Donovan, who is now with the Oklahoma City Thunder, is at the top of the pecking order followed by Davidson's Bob McKillop and Ed Cooley at Providence."

McKillop? Michigan isn't hiring a 68-year-old who's never been above the mid-major level in any role.

Considering how far down their wish lists UCLA and SJU ended up, it will be interesting to see how it goes for Michigan. 
Michigan has a lot of money, but they cannot claim they are a blue blood when it comes to basketball.    Thanks to the vacating of so many games thanks to the Fab 5, their official record differs from their regular record.      But Brian Ellerbe and Tommy Amaker did not have great records at UM, and even Beilein was only 248-143 and 111-87 in 12 years.    In other words, 21-12 and 9-7 ish on average. 

Should be entertaining.    My guess is internal.

Most every school not a blue blood would be delighted with 2 national championship games in 12 years.

I think Beilein was a very good college coach.    I think he had a couple of great runs that he should be proud of and that I am jealous of.   But it cannot be argued that Michigan is a blue blood in basketball or that Beilein had an overall record that was truly awesome.

People often lump Syracuse and Arizona in with the Blue bloods, Michigan has more final fours and runner ups than either of them. Not saying that they're a blue blood but just that I think if one was going to include AZ and SU they'd have to include UM.
