U-M makes it official: Juwan Howard is the 17th basketball coach at U-M

Yeah cuz Michigan is just going to outspend other multi billion and million dollar enterprises to entice their head coaches right? 

Stevens doesn’t like the college game as much as NBA. Wright is Villanova and won’t leave for anything other than the Sixers job. God you’re delusional 

You are a moron.

This isn’t like managing the shoe department at Target where the job pays what it pays no matter who has it.

I know exactly what the search firm did. I was asking you if you knew what roles they played? I don’t mean to pick on you, but I have seen this mistake made by many the past few weeks. The AD has/had a list. The search firm executes the plan and gets the top candidate in rank order. It’s far from a crap shoot or inquiry. 

A very very very successful Big 12 AD told me that search firms main role is to do candidate vetting. I.e check if they are interested, organizing logistics of the search process, do some background research all while trying to keep things quiet. They might suggest names, but any AD worth anything is going to have a list of guys they are interested in before they hire the search firm. 

Also intersting story on that note, same AD told me he is aware that fans follow flight tracker, and they take that into consideration when keeping things secret. 

You really don't know much about anything.

If you think that Warde came up with a number he thought was right for M basketball coach and then reached out to various candidates....on the phone....himself.....you certainly have no experience making any kind of hire.

1. AD and Co. make a list and prioritize.

2. List is vetted by search firm according to agreed upon criteria to be sure no one on the list isn't acceptable for whatever reason, look at obstacles like buyouts, assess what would be the appropriate compensation for each target should they become a possibility, etc. 

3. Overtures are made by search firm people via someone connected to the targeted coach to determine interest and possibly identify red flags or issues they are not aware of, if interest is mutual, a conversation is set up, at this point most likely with an agent to talk about basics. 

4. If in step three there is still mutual interest, further conversations happen and/or an interview is set up, possibly just an initial phone call to feel things out. 

5. Full on interviews take place, more internal discussions about various candidates and compensations, etc. 

6. Offer made with basic terms offered and negotiations start...hopefully terms work out in detail and candidate accepts offer. 

This is why it takes a while and doesn't just happen in 3 days and it certainly isn't Warde sitting down by a phone.

Well it makes the joke not funny.

Go fuck yourself, gang rape enabler.
