Can Coach Beilein Survive Another Season Like This?
Yes?
This seems irrelevant.
But thank you for the encouragement.
My guess is Magnus has more fans here than you.
Like, a Dave Brandon level douche. If you really hate Magnus' stuff so much, then point it out when he actually posts something that represents the "below average scouting reports" or "NSFW material". You posted this shit when all he did was reply with a one word answer to your question. In other words, you went out of your way to be an ass. You would make DB proud.
Are you really on here to get fans? Yikes
Who are you replying to?
think you are a dick. Let's poll that.
What you don't get is that it is what he wants...who gives a shit whether you approve of it or not. There is some good info there. IF you have such a problem with the NSFW material, don't go there. Didn't realize this was such a problem.
If you don't appreciate TTB, don't visit. No need for a cheap shot from left field.

I see your user name and read it as MGoVoldeTroll. You are a troll. All trolls claim thet have "zero [posts] of trolling quality."
Says one of the trolliest trolls to ever troll.
Seems like a legitimate question to me. Calling someone a troll doesn't make it less so.
Yeah...Fuck him for taking the time to give us free and knowledgable content. We need more posters like you that rehash the same tired topic.
a failing basketball team brings out the asshole in all of us
If you want a better answer then ask a better question. Open ended questions are your friend. A closed ended question gets a yes or no response everytime.
below the belt. Curious that you would undermine your own post this way. Foot, meet bullet.
What a way to treat a fellow Michigan fan. With friends like you....
People who believe that a coach who went to the Championship games just a few years ago (and lost to a cheater),should be fired because of a couple of mediocre season is the very reason why college sport is going to hell in a handbasket.
I sort of agree with this. When you have three great years like Beilein did between 2012 and 2014, I think you make a substantial deposit into the "sports fan goodwill" account. But I also think that his teams underacheived spectacularly this year and the last, and there's no sugar coating the unmitigated disaster that was the 2016 recruiting class. Those are like withdrawals from that goodwill account. I agree with you that fans who are ready to pull the plug now are being unrealistic and unnecessarily harsh given teh entirety of his record. But I also feel that the account's funds are dwindling.
The question posed is whether a third straight season like 2015 and 2016 would put Beilien's job in jeopardy. I think that it would, and I don't think that's unreasonable at that point.
Not to sound like Tom Izzo, but basketball is largely dependent on one or two players. When your star player misses the majority of conference games for two years, that's going to have an impact on your record. Toss in the fact that Walton missed a bunch of time last year, and Albrecht has missed almost the entire season, and injuries are a big part of it. I don't think a coach should be fired because his players get injured. However, if I were the A.D., I would be looking into the medical care and training the players are receiving. Maybe it's just a freak coincidence of injuries, but it's something that needs to be addressed in some way.
Come on, I'm frustrated too, but we aren't anything close to a tire fire. We finished 10-8 in the Big Ten and are just two years removed from our last Big Ten title. And we haven't had anything resembling the extracurricular stuff that a lot of other programs are dealing with now. We're just boring, and we look like a program that might continue to be boring for awhile.
And all 8 losses were to the top half. We're the definition of an average Big Ten team right now. We beat the bad ones and lose to the good ones and we're neither of those things (bad or good). We're boring. We aren't a tire fire, but we're boring.
Yup and I fully expect UM should be more than average. I don't want to become Illinois. A team that once one excellent that has just became average.

Actually we have 19 wins not 20.
But as a program we also don't want to unexpectedly lose our top two players every year.
1) If Spike is one of your "top two players" - you're already screwed.
2) It's pretty hard to call the loss of Spike "unexpected". He had TWO hip surgeries before the season. Him actually playing any significant amount this season would have been "unexpected"
3) You should recruit expecting to lose players regularly - either to injury or the NBA.
