That’s not fair to the new coaching staff. They should not have to deal with the distraction that was not caused by them. This is the way. I am sure glad most of you guys are not the AD. Michigan would be the laughing stock of college basketball.
You sound absolutely ridiculous. You really think the President and Reagents of the University want their AD to be this guy? Reacting at every little thing that goes wrong and the fans get upset about. If you think this is how you solve problems, by engaging in public spats as the mouthpiece of one of top universities and athletic programs in the country, then i understand why you are on a blog and not working for an athletic department.
I would argue that college athletics changed when cable companies started paying billions to the NCAA and conferences and coaches became multimillionaires. Now the players are asking for a piece of the pie and everyone is losing their mind. I’m not buying it. The transfer rules are at the heart of this issue. All these problems don’t necessarily come from kids making money, it comes from kids being able to leave and go to the highest bidder or get more playtime. Which I understand and don’t fault a place for doing it. The coaches can pack up and leave whenever, the players should have that option as well. I’m torn on this issue as it is eroding away at college athletics. NIL could come with a contract that would require you to stay at that program for an agreed upon time. Similar to NLI. The amount of money in college sports is insane at this point. Something needs to done as a whole and not just to the athletes.
Please explain what else WM can do for you realize that this decision is completely on Harbaugh. Everyone stated Warde didn’t do anything supporting Jim during signgate, and then he released a scathing letter to the B10. He has now stated that fans wanted him to fire Jim and he didn’t. We are all reaping the benefits of an AD that does not make decisions based on emotion. He just stated his admiration for JH. They have offered to make him the highest paid coach in college. Please tell me what else he needs to do?
That is really selfish take dude.. The point of college is to learn and prepare yourself for a career. That’s what we all did. I am better now than I was at anything in college. Selfishly, I want them to win also. But if JH creates a program where these kids can fulfill their dreams, is that bad? Tom Brady was average at Michigan and didn’t win much. Yet, everyone wants to claim him based on his NFL success. So using your logic, you don’t care about Tom Brady?
This is why they have heads of departments. The university pays them, but Juwan and any head of a department have the power and can hire and dismiss an employee. Howard did not have to retain Sanderson when he was hired as coach. Every employee that gets fired doesn’t have to be brought before the president and regents.
He didn’t like where college basketball was headed. He was exactly right. JH has to navigate this cesspool that Beilein quick jumped out of. The timing screwed the University as well.
That is exactly what he is saying. I would argue that based on his comments, that he never wanted him hired because he was black. Juwan gave him a reason, and he is harping on it. Our football coach, that I love, has two active NCAA investigation. So if we want to discuss pattern, that is a pattern. Though no one assumes on this blog that he is a cheater. We all talk due diligence, let the investigation play out. Ignore the narrative the media is pushing.. boycott ESPN. Why is this different?
One violation.. the others are pure speculation that fits your narrative for him being fired. It’s obvious you don’t like him. I have a feeling as to why. If you don’t like him Michigan employee, stop watching. You won’t be missed.
You guys are something else. You have absolutely no evidence whatsoever of what happened. Sanderson has not said, Howard has not said. Everything is pure speculation. Everyone that claims to work at U of M, go into your bosses office Monday and tell him or her the cultured is fu.., then say it to their kid. See how long you last. Like it or not, Juwan is the boss, Sanderson is his subordinate. I know that rubs a lot of people the wrong way.. and we all know why.
Wait.. hear me out. Maybe the culture is bad because Juwan has not been able to coach this year. JH thought Sanderson was taking a shot at the other coaches and Juwan was defending his staff.
That is a likely scenario as well. It bothers me that the assumption Sanderson did nothing wrong here. If you walked into your bosses office and told him/her that the culture is fu…, most of us would be unemployed. Especially if you said it to your bosses kid.

This is what happens when the athletic department whores itself to the highest bidder. You have to consider their agenda instead of doing what is best for the program.
You have to be joking. Most Michigan grads won’t see 5 Million dollars in a lifetime. I’m sorry, my wife and I both have Michigan degrees and would send my kid there in a heartbeat 5 million. Then he could pay his way through Michigan and have change left.
There is no doubt in my mind, given what he said in the post game interview, that all those runs were on purpose and a shoutout to JH. We all know JH lives smash mouth football and SM gave him a full half of entertainment while giving a middle finger to the B10 and the second ranked rushing defense. That was beautiful.
Hunter understands his options are limited going pro. He is looking for an NIL payday that Michigan probably cannot give him. He is trying to get paid when he can. Has nothing to do with winning at this point. He has had 2 fairly deep runs in the NCAA tournament and won a BIG championship. He has won here. He will go to the highest bidder. If Michigan does come up with the money, I promise he would come back.
Because the point of college it to prepare you for your career. Not to peak in college. People seem to be so selfish with this stuff. JH has put at least 5 probably 6 of his recruits in the NBA since he has arrived. Contrast that with Beilein who I count had 13 players who he recruited on an NBA roster at some point. Michigan is recruiting better talent and NBA caliber players. The big issue that I see is that JH is excellent at finding NBA talent in high schoolers, but not so much at finding talented players that need 3-4 years to develop. It’s going to take him time.
I agree with this. However, so much is put on recruit rankings. The allure of bringing in a top tablet elicits excitement and enthusiasm. We are all guilty of it.
You watched him play just like everyone else. None of us predicted he would get a passing draft grade. He was a shooter that could not shoot. I would have bet the bank he would have stayed an additional year. I was wrong.
I guarantee he did not think Diabate, Houston or Collins would not be on this team. The NBA always picks on potential. Look at Houston and Poole who most thought should have stayed in college. HD feet are to slow to guard stretch 4s and 5s that are prevalent in the NBA.
You are ignoring the part of the article that states how young this team is. At the end of the day, when the team hits shots they win. When they don’t they lose. One of those first round picks had SEVEN turnovers by himself. That is not coaching. People scream for him to get the ball, which he should, but you have to deal with the fact that he will make mistakes. Once he gets a team full of juniors and seniors and they see the same results, then it may be time.
Because the is no backup at the center position. HD needs to rest at some point during the game. If they play at the same time, who gives HD a break if he is tired or in foul trouble? At the end of the game when they both are playing, fouls and fatigue are usually not an issue.
That is not true and you know it. Michigan was mentioned nowhere in tournament talk 30 days ago. Here we are close to being on the bubble and near the top of the B10. This team was on the cusp of being a .500 team. They had a lot of catching up to do, and they have done it.
Are you being serious? You don’t think Kobe, Dug or T.Reed have gotten better. You are someone that sounds like you want Juwan fired and your rationale for him being fired has evaporated. There has been a huge growth in this team. They are tied for second in the B10. This is one of the youngest teams in college dealing with injuries to two starters. Take away whatever agenda you have and objectively look at the progress of just those three players.
Dude, why are you so upset? It’s not worth it. You literally have no control over any of this. Focus on things you can control. Ok Michigan sports suck, how does that have any bearing over your life? If your emotions are tied to how a bunch of college kids perform, I feel bad for you. People get too wrapped up in this stuff. You can’t let college athletics dictate your emotions. Too many people, other than you I imagine, make way too much money on this stuff to get upset about it.
Like all of us, you have no clue what any of these people do on a daily basis. All you know is what has been tweeted out a you coming to your own conclusions to fit your angry narrative. Unless you have been an AD or a President of a major university, you have no idea what you are talking about.
The more I read this board, the more I realize people really don’t know as much as they think. We didn’t all grow up tweeting out every thought and action. Because one chooses not to tweet what they are doing every moment of the day, the assumption should not be that they are doing nothing. I am in my mid 40s and I tweeting is the dumbest thing I have ever heard of. I know I’m old, but I don’t get upset when grown adults don’t tweet. I actually prefer it that way.

Jay Harbaugh is a great coach, but was he the most qualified initially?
This is why they have heads of departments. The university pays them, but Juwan and any head of a department have the power and can hire and dismiss an employee. Howard did not have to retain Sanderson when he was hired as coach. Every employee that gets fired doesn’t have to be brought before the president and regents.

I hope your employer is not reading this. You may not be employed.
Did you happen to write any letters to the University between 1991-1993 in reference to the Fab Five? I’m asking for a friend.
It’s not a fact. You don’t know more than the president, reagents and AD of Michigan
That is exactly what he is saying. I would argue that based on his comments, that he never wanted him hired because he was black. Juwan gave him a reason, and he is harping on it.

Please.. say why. I don’t know.
One violation.. the others are pure speculation that fits your narrative for him being fired. It’s obvious you don’t like him. I have a feeling as to why. If you don’t like him Michigan employee, stop watching. You won’t be missed.
If it was so great.. why did he leave?
Ok Michigan employee.. go root for another team.
Please define how this is discrimination? Based on what?
Woody hit a player, not another coach.
So did Harbaugh, and I am not upset about it. If RichRod had two active NCAA investigations, you think he would still be here?

Mitsubishi Marv.
This is what some of you fans want Warde to do. Do you see how silly this looks? I prefer my ADs sit be hind a desk and be quite.

We all know JH lives smash mouth football and SM gave him a full half of entertainment while giving a middle finger to the B10 and the second ranked rushing defense. That was beautiful.
Take my upvote!
Please explain how you are a better representative of the university?

Juwan will never admit it, but I am sure he felt the same way.
You watched him play just like everyone else. None of us predicted he would get a passing draft grade. He was a shooter that could not shoot. I would have bet the bank he would have stayed an additional year. I was wrong.
It’s a problem. I get it. That is why Beilein left. He did not want to deal with this. You add NIL to this, it’s not a great spot to be in.
I guarantee he did not think Diabate, Houston or Collins would not be on this team. The NBA always picks on potential. Look at Houston and Poole who most thought should have stayed in college. HD feet are to slow to guard stretch 4s and 5s that are prevalent in the NBA.

I don’t usually complain about officiating, but this is a shit show.
It happened to Dickenson against Illinois.
Lol. Exactly. It crazy that people don’t understand this. Then have some crazy opinion that coaches doesn’t understand rotations.

Damn! Look at that poop box!
I see what you did there. Take my point. Most people will not get this or where it came from. I visited Zamuda once.. lol
Sending prayers your way.
