2019 Coaching Carousel

It might succeed no doubt. But the track record of coaches in similar situations isn't great. No other major program would have had Howard on their radar. The only reason UM did is because he's an alum. And that's a red flag.

Very different circumstances than the Harbaugh hire.

Very much agree on the bolded. Sure, Howard might be great. This hire looks similar to Georgetown bringing in Ewing, except that Ewing was objectively three times the candidate Howard is by the time he was hired.  Timing and the current coaching market generally both worked against Michigan here.

Which is why I think promoting the assistant would have been the best choice.

My brother was a really good basketball player in high school, but I don't think he has enough experience to be a college basketball coach. Thanks for thinking of him, though.
